Bush can say he didn't break the law all he wants -- and the more he says it, the more he sounds like Nixon:
President Bush again defended his program of warrantless surveillance Thursday, saying "there's no doubt in my mind it is legal." He suggested that he might resist congressional efforts to change or expressly endorse it.Remember, just because he says it, doesn't make it true.
"The program's legal, it's designed to protect civil liberties, and it's necessary," Bush told a White House news conference.
UPDATE: Almost forgot....Crooks and Liars has the video of Nixon delivering Bush's message back in 1977:
"When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal"
