President GW Bush is in trouble. He admitted he broke the law and spied without warrants and by subverting the legal process, he spied on Americans and others. As the story grows, and information is revealed, the numbers of Americans being spied on is also increasing. President Bush broke the law. He's my elected leader and as such, he is there to ensure the law is upheld, not broken. He has fallen right into the hands of democrats who hate him by doing this. Now the attacks begin. President Bush has brought this upon himself. Like Clinton, he knew he was breaking the law, of course the situations are not at all similar. Because President Bush broke the law, democrats will now do all they can to enforce it. This could grow into a mbuttive issue,and who knows what info might yet be revealed to the public and the vast numbers of Americans the may have fallen into the NSA's net? I am very supportive of President Bush, however, as our new USSC member, Sam Alito said earlier this week, no president, no member of congress and no person is above the law. President Bush has now caused himself a huge, and growing problem that will potentially disrupt his remaining two years in office, and affect the upcoming congressional elections. This will also disrupt the entire country, and could cause our great economy to crash and burn. We are a country ruled by the laws we put in place, not by kings or dictators. We are different, we are better, and when european countries struggle under their mbuttive socialist burden and a constant unemployment level of 10 percent or more in most of the EU, we prove to them daily we are better by our success and our liberty, but the last thing America needs is any Republican or any Democrat in high office breaking the very laws he is there to uphold.This only gives the haters of America more ammunition. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Specter Skeptical of Domestic Spy Program Jan 15 10:03 AM US-Eastern Email this story WASHINGTON The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee expressed skepticism Sunday over President Bush's domestic eavesdropping program, joining a chorus of Republicans and Democrats who are questioning its legal justification. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who will hold hearings next month on the decision to allow the National Security Agency program without court approval, said he has told Bush administration officials that he believes they are on shaky legal ground. Bush has pointed to a congressional resolution pbutted after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, that authorized him to use force in the fight against terrorism as allowing him to order the program. The program authorized eavesdropping of international phone calls and e- mails of people deemed a terror risk. Review of Stern first week 717I'm just for getting this stuff of public airwaves, which are owned by the public, and paid for with public taxes. I said nothing about regulating satellite... "I thought they were wrong," Specter said on ABC's "This Week." "There still may be different collateral powers under wartime situations. That is a knotty question." A number of members of Specter's committee, including GOP Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas, have expressed doubt about the administration's legal basis. The hearings, planned for early February, will feature Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Specter, speaking in general terms, noted that impeachment and criminal prosecution are possibilities in the event a president acted unconsbreastutionally.
