It has been interesting to watch the reactions, over the past month, to President Bush's illegal wiretaps. Bush and his gang have been defending the program by saying we need the wiretaps to protect the nation. However, no one is actually objecting to the wiretaps themselves. We crossed that line years ago. The objection is to doing it without warrants, for as far as we can tell no reason at all. FISA would have let them get the warrants in complete secrecy, even after the fact.
So my question is, is he really that stupid or merely pretending to be that stupid?
Fortunately, a lot of folks are not being fooled by this ridiculous tactic.
Even some Republicans such as Grover Norquist, Bob Barr, Arlen Specter,
Lindsey Graham, and Richard Lugar
are objecting and calling for hearings.
If only a few more Republicans in Congress have the balls to join them,
impeachment is a very real possibility.
