| Deep Throat.. errr Oral Hatch.. umm Orrin, said that AT&T were the true patriots and we need to protect them.
Dodd did a good thing and hopefully it won't be necessary again. If AT&T is guilty they knew they were guilty when they were doing it so they shouldn't expect a get out of jail free card just because they were doing what the president said. The president isn't a king or a dictator they're just the president in a land of law. |

The president isn't a king or a dictator they're just the president in a land of law. Where Mr. Bush went wrong was to assume he was an imperial leader, rather than an elected (appointed) representative of the people, illegitimate election(s) aside, with the purpose of protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States. Failing at that most basic precept of his office is the least of his crimes. Like Hitler did to the German people, Americans were conned into being afraid of turning every corner, which created an environment that enabled such extreme measures. I still laugh when certain family members spout the Faux News rhetoric "if we don't fight them there, we'll have to fight them here". What may ultimately take Bush down is when the detail of the wiretapping reaches full daylight, that he actually contracted AT&T to spy on domestic activity prior to 9/11/2001. Granting AT&T immunity might only eliminate the ability of a special prosecutor to plea bargain with the principles in order to expose the Bush crimes. Will be a fun year in 2008 if the democrats can grow some cajones and use what limited power a slim majority can muster. |
