Senate Joint Resolution 5 was a shining
moment in the New Mexico legislature when it appeared that citizens of
this country might find hope that a criminal regime operating out of
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC might be taken to
task. A couple of courageous state Senators sponsored a
resolution to demand that the US House of Representatives do their
sworn duty to defend the Constitution and hundreds and hundreds of New
Mexicans called, wrote, and appeared personally in Santa Fe to tell
their Senators what they wanted them to do. But turncoat
Democrats, voting with lock-stepped Republicans, used a surprise
procedural maneuver to derail the effort and deny the measure a debate
and vote on the Senate floor.
In this program, taped a few days following the
DO PASS recommendation for SJR 5 in the Senate Judiciary committee and
one day before the shameful maneuver that Democrats participated in,
Diana "Punkie" Garretson and Matt Runnels, chairs of the Grant County
Republican and Democratic parties, respectively, join in a discussion
of SJR 5, presidential accountability, the erosion of civil rights
under the Bush regime, and the deteriorating state of the Rule of Law
in America, especially for elite plutocrats such as Bush and Cheney.
