I used to be proud to be an American. Now I'm embarrassed.
Let's change that, starting tomorrow.
This cannot stand. In ordering the NSA to spy secretly on America, George Bush has overturned United States Signals Intelligence Directive 18, which prohibits domestic spying by NSA; violated the federal act which created the FISA court to oversee covert domestic investigations; and trampled upon the Fourth Amendment guarantee against warrantless searches. It cannot stand for a day, much less a month while Congress is in recess....Later on in the post there are the "methods" they propose using to get to the bottom of this. Nowhere is impeachment mentioned. I add it to the list. "If" - and I say "if" generously " - George Bush broke the law 30 or more times in order to spy on American citizens, one of the greatest no-no's our country has - then the man needs to be removed from office immediately, whether it's impeachment, the 25th amendment, or his immediate resignation.
Operation Flabbergasted We cannot let that happen. We have to ensure that by Monday, all hell has broken loose in D.C.
Every Senator needs to know there'll be jolly hell back home if they don't demand Bush stop it now. The MSM needs to be discussing the `constitutional crisis.' There has to be a plan immediately to make this happen. I've got one.
We know that domestic spying by the NSA is Orwellian. We don't need to wait for panels of experts to declare the obvious, that Bush's policies violate the Fourth Amendment in the most fundamental way.
This government is no better than the Soviets, the Nazis, the communist Chinese and Cubans, and any other dictatorship that routinely violated the law of the land for the "good of the people." That's not how democracies work. It's now how America works. What the hell are we fighting a war on terror for anyway if we're so willing to give up our country to a dictator?
