According to the Associated Press article:
The House leaders said the Justice Department overstepped its authority by allowing FBI agents to remain in Jefferson's office alone for 18 hours. Jefferson's private lawyer, House counsel and the Capitol Police should have been allowed to observe, the House leaders said.

Evidently violating our civil rights is just fine, but no one better search a Congressperson's office with a warrant signed by a judge. No, that would be unconstitutional. Congress and the president deserve special protection.
Ain't it amazing how a young female lobbist can change one's perspective on acceptable behavior? Once upon a time I trusted Roy but no longer.
This administration brought us the Patriot Act which obviously defies the Constitution, yet the conservatives want legal action taken when the law is followed and used against one of their own.
Since Roy is a graduate of the "Tom DeLay School of Money Management" I guess he is afraid that his office may be the next one to be searched.
