Bush’s Snoopgate
The president was so desperate to kill The New York Times’ eavesdropping story, he summoned the paper’s editor and publisher to the Oval Office. But it wasn’t just out of concern about national security.
[] Bush was desperate to keep the Times from running this important story—which the paper had already inexplicably held for a year—because he knew that it would reveal him as a law-breaker.

This will all play out eventually in congressional committees and in the United States Supreme Court. If the Democrats regain control of Congress, there may even be articles of impeachment introduced. Similar abuse of power was part of the impeachment charge brought against Richard Nixon in 1974.
Not impeachment. Chimpeachment.

Bush orders domestic spying without obtaining warrents, even though warrents are easy and quick to obtain, and then will not(perhaps cannot) defend his spy program with examples of terrorists who were caught or terror plots that were foiled as a result of his spy program. Bush stated repeatedly that he is protecting the American people and their civil liberties. He may be protecting the people but it looks to me like he is protecting us right out of our civil liberties. It has long been my belief that the process of classification of secrets and secret documents in the federal government is a handy way of hiding from the American people the real truth about how much of what some agencies of the government(CIA, NSA, FBI) do in the name of the citizens of the U.S. would be totally objectionable to most people who live in a democratic society. It is also a neat way to hide general incompetence and screwups that would embarrass the administration. I believe that Bush should be removed from office because of his spy program. Can you imagine what the Republicans would be saying right now if Clinton had been caught doing what Bush has done?
