On "The Situation Room" today, we asked viewers the following questions, and here are some of our favorite responses that we didn't get to read on air:
Should Attorney General Alberto Gonzales be advising federal judges about how to do their jobs?What part of "separation of powers" does the Bush Administration (aka The Dubyah Gang) not understand? These folks take great delight in calling themselves conservatives, but true conservatives are supposed to be dedicated to conserving the constitutional system the Founding Fathers created for us. The president and his cronies are swinging away at the Constitution with a pick axe. This is truly frightening!
Chris, Christiansburg, VirginiaThe attorney general should not be in contact with federal judges except for non-judicial matters. Social contact is fine but it is not advisable for him to be telling them how to do their jobs. Of course with this administration anything is possible. Morality is not one of their priorities.
Mike, Hot Springs, ArkansasNo, but do you think any of those judges really care what Gonzales has to say? They know he's Dubya's mouth piece and just humor him.

If members of Congress, including House Speaker Dennis Hastert, knew about Rep. Foley's sexually suggestive e-mails, what should the consequences be?It is time to stop allowing those in power to get away with not obeying the rules of common decency. Now he is using alcoholism as an excuse. He is just a pervert as are those who, as members of the "Good Ole Boy" network, covered up for him. Arrest him and punish him.
Pat, Medford, New JerseyThis sounds like the Republican party's answer to the Catholic priest scandals of our recent past. They demanded that the Church clean house of all participants and those who covered it up, now it's time for the Republicans to do the same starting with its leadership who knew of this problem for almost a year.
Norman, Elizabethtown, KentuckyThey should be charged with obstruction of justice; most of them have legal training and knew that a crime had occurred.
Harold, Anchorage, AlaskaHow will Bob Woodward's book "State of Denial" impact the midterm elections?The Bush crowd urged Americans to read Woodward's previous 2 books which favorably portrayed them. His new book is highly critical of them and now they say Woodward has an "agenda". I think the book has helped to clarify the "agenda of the voting public" for the November elections. The Democrats will control the House and Senate come January, 2007.
Michael, Harrisburg, PennsylvaniaHow convenient that the Republicans have a scandal (that they've known about since 2005) again, at the same time that a well-known reporter has a book out that once again shines a light on the incompetence of Bush and his buddies. Which do you think they will downplay the most?
Pam, Reynoldsburg, OhioMuch of America's electorate just doesn't read.
George, St. Petersburg, FloridaJack, his book will drive the final nail in the Republican party's and George W. Bush's coffin when coupled with the Republican cover-up of the House child sexual predator Congressman Mark Foley.
