Thank You, U.S. Senate! "The King can do no Wrong'; Wire Tapping is Fantastic!

Thank you, U.S. Senate for your latest cave in to the Bush-Cheney ongoing dictatorship!

It isn’t enough to endorse wire tapping.

Let’s go ahead and render the huge corporations that do it an invulnerable status. Why should they be subjected to troublesome lawsuits for following the old John McCain maxim of “We are at war”! meaning perpetual war for perpetual peace?

If we intend to be at war in Iraq for at least 100 years then it makes logical sense to snoop on citizens in the very country whose symbol of freedom you have guaranteed to export all over the world!

Think of all the money the phone companies can make snooping on people throughout the entire world, all in the name of preserving American freedom!

Tragically, you don’t even see this conduct pattern as the least bit contradictory, much less wrong and blatantly unconstitutional. If Jefferson, Madison and Franklin were alive today would they all be sounding like John McCain?

Many of us doubt it, no matter how strongly and quickly the Hatches, McConnells, Bunnings, Chamblisses and other Bushie robots act and genuflect to whatever the King commands!

Forget the Constitution!

For those of you Democrats who voted along with them, congratulations for putting the New World Order and the Project for the New American Century ahead of the U.S. Constitution!

No More Investigations Please
Dick Cheney | George W. Bush | Impeachment

In a December 31, 2007, editorial, the New York Times faulted the current president and vice president of the United States for kidnapping innocent people, denying justice to prisoners, torturing, murdering, circumventing U.S. and international law, spying in violation of the Fourth Amendment, and basing their actions on "imperial fantasies."

Bush's and Cheney's crimes stand open on the table before us. Their lies about Iraqi ties to al Qaeda are on videotape and in writing, and they continue to make them to this day. Their claims about Iraqi weapons have been shown in every detail to have been, not mistakes, but lies. Their threats to and lies about Iran are on videotape. Bush being warned about Katrina and claiming he was not are on videotape. Bush lying about illegal spying and later confessing to it are on videotape. A federal court has ruled that spying to be a felony. The Supreme Court has ruled Bush and Cheney's system of detentions unconstitutional. Torture, openly advocated for by Bush and Cheney and their staffs, is documented by victims, witnesses, and public photographs. Torture was always illegal and has been repeatedly recriminalized under Bush and Cheney. Bush has reversed laws with signing statements. Those statements are posted on the White House website, and a GAO report found that with 30 percent of Bush's signing statements in which he announces his right to break laws, he has in fact proceeded to break those laws. For these and many other offenses, no investigation is needed because no better evidence is even conceivable. And rather than taking three months, the impeachment of Cheney or Bush could be completed in a day.

But the investigations that Congress has pursued at its glacial pace over the past 12 months, while thousands upon thousands died, have produced another impeachable offense, the refusal to comply with subpoenas. That is what President Richard Nixon did; and his refusal to comply with subpoenas constituted the offense cited in one of the three Articles of Impeachment approved by the House Judiciary Committee on July 27, 1974 as warranting "impeachment and trial, and removal from office."

16. True. They admit their crimes.

But simply euphemize them as "unitary" power.

No investigation required. No issue to discuss.

A simple up or down vote on torture and war crimes.

Inaction is a vote for the torturers.

4. Funny how the ONE corporate party always gets what it wants

5. "funny." Yes, except I'm not laughing.

7. Not a surprise

From the moment Pelosi said, about 5 seconds after taking office, that impeachment was off the table, I knew the fix was in.

I'm amazed anyone still believes they are living in a country where what they believe actually matters.

Nothing has changed in the 3+ years of having a democratic congress.

Nothing.

9. That was all it took...

to realize where she was coming from, and she proves it every chance she gets.

8. I guess corporatism and fascism is way more important

than the Constitution to these thugs. Remember they want to re write history. Jerks.:grr:

14. Yes and they can do it...

and get away with it, so why not?
