ACLU Calls For Special Counsel: Add Your Voice

"Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires — a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so. It’s important for our fellow citizens to understand, when you think Patriot Act, constitutional guarantees are in place when it comes to doing what is necessary to protect our homeland, because we value the Constitution."

-- George W. Bush, April 20, 2004

When Bush secretly authorized the National Security Agency to spy on Americans, he violated the Constitution and his oath of office.

The only problem that I have with the prospect of a Bush impeachment is that we would then have Cheney as president. Whereas Bush is merely an evil lying politician, Cheney is a genuinely frightening figure; he is certifiably insane.
