out that week when they taught this part....

Jim, the US Constitution is a Living Breathing Document,

THis is what nixon said, right?

If the president does it, it must be legal.

Bush's NSA fiasco broke the law. Just like all those Abramoff
folks. Oh, you'll hear a lot of spin going on, a lot of foot
stamping and blubbering.

But in the end there will be defense attorneys on hire.

The shrubster is alienating a lot of even his own party. THe CIA
is real ****ed at him. He made monkeys out of all those secret
security court judges. The mess with delay and ney isn't helping
either.

REmember how popular delay was until the prosecutors came knocking?
The same thing could happen to the president.

Jim


It is all starting to come out now and the wheels are going to fall off real
soon. Jim Risen of the NY Times has a book out that tells how Bush's people
kept the CIA from giving the other side in the WMD argument in the run up to
the war. In effect, they kept the CIA from giving any information that
contradicted the White House line. As usual, the truth about a corrupt
administration scornful of the law is coming to light and as it does it's
beginning to look more and more like a train heading full speed for a bridge
that's washed out. Yee Haa!

Too late Hawke. The Constitution is a Living Document, and means what
the Attorney General needs for it to mean.

In the mean time, the Democrats are still confused about what is and
isn't part of the government, or which part has jurisdictions over what.
For starters, the New York Times is not part of the Government, and is not
the proper agency for the reporting of illegally obtained wire taps. It
wasn't in 1998, when illegally recorded phone conversations made by
democrat party Activists were turned over by a Democrat Congressman, nor is
it now when a whistle blower forgets to inform the Inspector General or
Department of Justice, but rather goes to the NYT with his suspicions of
illegal activity.

Oh well, it isn't like there is any danger in the world.
