I just saw this Washington Post article (click on the title) where President Bush's secret wiretaps were deemed unconstitutional by a Federal Judge. The trouble is this activity -- an unconstitional one -- has gone on for several years.
What happens to those out there who may have been the target of such efforts and were wrongly accused of a crime? And did President Bush do this to Democratic Party activists?
This opens a new can of worms, but it's also evidence of how the Bush Administration has acted in a very dangerous way that seemed to paint the picture of a president who believed he was above the law.
I know the reason's tied to 9/11, but that seems to be used as a kind of nice excuse for going a little beyond what's really appropriate in this matter.
This wil further the claim that George W Bush has more in common with Richard M. Nixon, than with Bill Clinton. I write this because I know he and Clinton are friends, but I see Bill as more nuanced in his approach.
