Ok so let me get this straight. Constitution is made which includes a Fourth Amendment on search and seizure. Consequently, later, a FISA bill passes into law, which gives orders on the legal process of wiretapping Americans or foreign individuals who are here, explicitly related to terrorism. Executive branch gives Legislative branch (and the American people) the finger for inquiries into breaking the law on illegally spying on Americans. Then Executive branch, not being able to pass laws by itself, goes to Legislative branch asking them to pass laws making the Legislative branch's ability of oversight null, despite said finger given numerous times to Legislative branch's inquiries to such illegal acts.
The mere fact that Dubya's inexorably trying to cover the asses of AT&T and other telcos/companies involved in this, as well as himself and his own cohorts, is nothing less than an admission of guilt for breaking the law by illegally spying on Americans; no short of treason. This goes with the large laundry list of other acts which are impeachable offenses that he's committed. With respect to the topic at hand, I'll stick to this one, which is, by itself, an example of an Executive Branch that's gone way too power hungry. |
