Excerpt
President Bush derailed a bill by the US Congress aimed at ending the Administration’s illegal wiretapping by not providing documents related to the President’s warrantless wiretapping program to the Senate Intelligence Committee that is currently reviewing the proposed legislation.
The US house of representatives last month passed the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 bill with an amendment that makes Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) the only means by which domestic electronic surveillance for the purpose of gathering foreign intelligence information may be conducted.
The bill has been referred to the Senate Intelligence Committee, but the Committee is unable to proceed as the White House has repeatedly refused to hand over the relevant documents…
HL’s Take
Gee, if only there was a way for Congress to stop a rogue President from willfully breaking the law. I mean if The President is going to openly go against the Constitution right in front of the very people that are charged with making sure he doesn’t do things like that, you would think there might be a way for them to stop him. Oh yes now I remember there IS a way, it’s called Impeachment. I guess the Democrats don’t mind having sand kicked in their face, just like they don’t mind having elections stolen from them, and letting more people die in Iraq even though they could stop that too. It must suck being bullyed around all the time, well that is until they count their money one more time, that must take the sting out of it a little.
