Impeachment is mandatory

Impeach

President

Bush

Unclaimed Territory should be read here, particularly with regards to commentary in The Federalist nr. 47. Specifically:

By proclaiming the power to ignore Congressional law and to do whatever it wants in the area of national security, it is seizing the powers of the legislative branch. But by blocking courts from ruling on the multiple claims of illegality which have been made against it, the administration is essentially seizing the judicial power as well. It becomes the creator, the executor, and the interpreter of the law. And with that, the powers of all three branches become consolidated in The President, the single greatest nightmare of the founders.

I understand Qwest, at least, has refused to hand over all the phone records. That's a teeeeeensy ray of sunshine in this whole fiasco, though.

This is both depressing and disturbing, and it troubles me that certain people out there cannot or will not see how harmful this is.

And on the friends list, that post was right next to one with a Borg icon. So now all I can think is:
Resistance is futile. You will be impeached.

Ummm CNN has it wrong. It wasn't an evesdropping program, it was a pattern matching program. They didn't tap any phones, they just got the billing records from the phone companies. The reason why all the investigations are suddenly stopping is because what law was broken? Really?

Once again we have a top secret program that is targeted against our enemies (And may very well have been successful in stopping their attacks) being made public by people who mean this country harm. Remember there is still a declared war on.

And again, what law was broken? I admit I am less than pleased about it, but I'm not sure any laws were broken. We are dealing with an enemy that has agents in this country, and sadly we have a lot of people in this country who are more than willing to help our enemies because they're stupid.

People do seem to forget the things that FDR or Lincoln did during their wars. Most of which was a lot worse than this.
