Investigate this!

Nine members of the permanent opposition, of the US Senate, have objected to an investigation of torture. In December 2007 nine Republicans voted for torture:
-Wayne Allard - Colorado
-Christopher Bond - Missouri
-Tom Coburn - Oklahoma
-Thad Cochran - Mississippi
-John Cornyn - Texas
-James Inhofe - Oklahoma
-Pat Roberts - Kansas
-Jeff Sessions - Alabama
-Ted Stevens - Alaska
When the new attorney general was in the process of confirmation, Cornyn delayed the process, because he objected to the possibility that the Justice Department might consider torture a criminal offense. Eric Holder has now seen much evidence and is heavily considering to proceed.

Now nine senators are objecting:
-Christopher ‘Kit’ Bond - Missouri
-Richard Burr - North Carolina
-Saxby Chambliss - Georgia
-Tom Coburn - Oklahoma
-John Cornyn - Texas
-Chuck Grassley - Iowa
-Orrin Hatch - Utah
-John Kyl - Arizona
-Jeff Sessions - Alabama
The overlap is four: Bond, Coburn, Cornyn, Sessions.

Now this is the party that spent millions upon millions hounding in worthless investigations, a twice legally elected president, up to a failed trial after impeachment over a tawdry sexual peccadillo. A special prosecutor is needed for Republicans to cripple, or remove, a democratic administration, but for international crimes against humanity not so much? Who in America holds the scales of Justice?
