Love and Mercy, Walking Humbly, Doing Justice

Judge not least ye be judged. The judging has commenced. Interesting.

Micah Chapter 3:

⁸ He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

Hmmmmmm. From Think Progress:

While serving as a U.S. congressman, Sanford was incredibly critical of his colleagues’ marital misdeeds, including the affairs of former congressman Bob Livingston and President Bill Clinton:

“The bottom line, though, is I am sure there will be a lot of legalistic explanations pointing out that the president lied under oath. His situation was not under oath. The bottom line, though, is he still lied. He lied under a different oath, and that is the oath to his wife. So it’s got to be taken very, very seriously.” [Sanford on Livingston, CNN, 12/18/98]

“We ought to ask questions…rather than circle the wagons for one of our tribe.” [Sanford on how the GOP reacts to affairs, New York Post, 12/20/98]

“I think it would be much better for the country and for him personally (to resign). I come from the business side. If you had a chairman or president in the business world facing these allegations, he’d be gone.” [Sanford on Clinton, The Post and Courier, 9/12/98]

“The issue of lying is probably the biggest harm, if you will, to the system of Democratic government, representatives government, because it undermines trust. And if you undermine trust in our system, you undermine everything.” [Sanford on Clinton, CNN, 2/16/99]

What's good for the former President (and others) according to Mark Sanford, is apparently not good for Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina.

Blagojevich Impeachment Proceedings: Roland Burrus, recently appointed to replace Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat to testify

Will these proceedings be broadcast live? I wonder.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The governor's senate appointee Roland Burris is preparing for Washington, where he intends to be sworn in Tuesday as Illinois' junior senator.

Burris and his supporters are stepping up efforts to pressure Senate leaders to back down from their effort to block Burris from taking the seat.

His team sent a letter to leaders of the Democratic caucus. It includes documents and case law that support burris' stance.

"The appointment is legal. The appointment is legitimate and the Governor's problems have absolutely, positively nothing do with my appointment," said Roland Burris, U.S. Senate Appointee. source: ABC 7 News Chicago

Something to think about: Cartooning, Circumventing the Constitution, Pervez Musharraf
