Bush says spying legal, Legal Scholars say he’s lying again
Just because Bush says his domestic spying program is legal and justified does not make it so. While the Constitutional scholars didn’t say, “he’s lying”, they did say that his program is “blatantly unlawful” - which is basically calling him a liar, diplomatically.
that Mr. Bush’s warrantless domestic wiretapping program is legal, as contended by his lawyers - simply cannot be taken seriously.
On the Necessity of Impeachment:
U. Chicago Law Professor Geoffrey Stone, Georgetown U. Law Professor David Cole, and U. Massachusetts Law School Dean Lawrence Velvel - agree: “Some legal questions are hard. This one is not. Mr. Bush’s authorizing of the NSA to spy on Americans is blatantly unlawful and unconstitutional.”
But is it an impeachable offense? Mr. Bush has committed an impeachable offense.
Mr. Bush is the first president ever to admit that he committed an impeachable offense.The opposite opinion - that Mr. Bush’s warrantless domestic wiretapping program is legal, as contended by his lawyers - simply cannot be taken seriously. Indeed, it’s so erroneous that “it’s not even close.”
Above article has compiled a list of over 90 impeachment stories written in the last month.
14 Constitutional Scholars agree that Bush broke the law.
In conclusion, the DOJ letter fails to offer a plausible legal defense of the NSA domestic spying program… But it is also beyond dispute that, in such a democracy, the President cannot simply violate criminal laws behind closed doors because he deems them obsolete or impracticable.
Harvard Law Prof. Laurence Tribe concludes
that the NSA spying is “as grave an abuse of executive authority as I can recall ever having studied.”
Bush & Cheney Lied to start a war, the Scholars did not.
Bush & Cheney say the spying is legal, the Scholars do not.
Who is more believeable, the Constitutional scholars that say ‘it’s not even close’ or Bush that says, ‘of course it’s legal’.
Where the f*$k is Congress?
Impeach Bush and Cheney- Congress too if they fail to act.
