House Uproar Over Jefferson Search Misplaced

House speaker Denny Hastert, as well as Majority Leader John Boehner, expressed their displeasure that the office of one of their fellow congressmen, William Jefferson, was searched last week.

Nevermind that there was a search warrant granted by a judge. Nevermind that Congress can form committees to investigate the President or judicial system whenever they want. But if the DOJ gets a warrant to search a corrupt Congressman's office - that's somehow unconstitutional and outrageous? Give me a break.
