WASHINGTON
\n — A liberal Democrat and potential White House contender is proposing
\n to censure President Bush for authorizing domestic eavesdropping, saying
\n the White House misled Americans about its legality.<\/p>\n
”The president has broken the law and, in some way, he must be held accountable," said
\n Senator Russ Feingold, Democrat of Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
The five-page resolution to be introduced today contends
\n that Bush violated the law when, on his own, he set up the eavesdropping
\n program within the National Security Agency in the months after the attacks
\n of Sept. 11, 2001<\/p>\n

\n this<\/a> for quite some time, and
\n the NSA eavesdropping is only the tip of the iceberg. During the feverish
\n four years between the the aftermath of 9\/11 and the aftermath of Bush’s
\n reelection in 2004, the rabid rightists in the White House treated the
\n Constitution like so much toilet paper. The country was at war, the enemy
\n was everywhere, and all available measures were justifiable. <\/p>\n
\n only domestic eavesdropping, but withholding of information from Congress,
\n lying under oath, torture and blackmail of real and suspected opponents,
\n targeted killings of foreign officials and civilians, kidnapping and
\n disappearing
\n people
\n into
\n its
\n chain of secret prisons, and illegal financing to pay for all of the
\n above.<\/p>\n
\n overlooked was that the provisions of the Constitution limiting the powers
\n of the
\n executive were inserted SPECIFICALLY to apply during times of strife,
\n war and other challenges to the state. Furthermore, in our world of multiple
\n smoking guns, indelible electronic paper trails and instant celebrity
\n for whistle-blowers, exposure of such egregious violations of the
\n law of the land cannot be avoided, only delayed.<\/p>\n
\n the more curious odd couple pairing in recent news cycles. At
\n first, we thought that Papa Bush was so constantly and publicly sucking
\n up to Big Bubba Bill Clinton simply as a way to diss his wayward son. How
\n it must have galled Dubya to see his dear old Dad showering the approval
\n and camaderie that he, 43, so craved, on the morally corrupt nemesis
\n of his son’s political star.<\/p>\n
\n family politics. 41 IS a loving father. He is simply trying to
\n pre-negotiate a Nixon-style pardon for his wayward son in the event
\n of a second Clinton presidency! Brilliant political gamesmanship. Here’s
\n hoping it doesn’t work – we are looking forward to the George Bush
