"The problem comes down to the failure of Congress to deal with what is a very ugly and unfortunate fact. This would be a clear impeachable offense. I don't know of a more potential charge of impeachment within the modern presidency.
And, as I've asked many times before, if we passively allow the President to simply break the law with impunity in how the government spies on our conversations, what don't we allow?

Bush refuses to deny sending Gonzales and Card to the bedside of a sick Ashcroft, says 'I'm not going to talk about it.'
Nice non-answer. I have a feeling that this is going to get worse for them quickly.

O'Donnell: There's been some very dramatic testimony before the Senate this week from one of your former top justice department officials, who describes a scene that some Senators called stunning about a time when the warrantless wiretap program was being reviewed. Sir, did you send your then chief of staff and White House counsel to the bedside of John Ashcroft, while he was ill to get him to approve os that program and do you believe that kind of conduct from White House officials is appropriate?
Bush: Kelly, there's a lot of speculation about what happened and what didn't happen and I'm not going to talk about itÂ…It's a very sensitive programÂ…
FEINSTEIN: I join with Sen. Schumer in saying I think the time has come for the Senate to express its will. And that will is simply to say that we lack confidence in Attorney General Gonzales. I don't like saying this. I very much regret saying it. I want to say exactly the opposite. But in view of what I know, I can't.
Whether it was the torture memo, whether it's Guantanamo, whether it's Geneva Convention, whether it's U.S. Attorneys, whether it's I don't know I can't recall, a department as major as this, I don't think the American people are well served. I'm hopeful this can be worked out. But there comes a time when you have to say what you think, and this is what I think.
More liberal wet dreams..... How many times Dookie over the last 7 years did you claim that "This was the straw"

Unfortunately, you're right. It'll never happen. But the fact that you are happy about criminals getting away with it speaks volumes about you.

Yes, it sure as hell does.
What crimes has Bush been convicted of?

Well, conviction comes in the form of a successful impeachment and is not a prerequisite for the impeachment itself.
But to take what another poster said, why are you so happy about the things that have been going on with this administration that go directly against the rule of law. Upholding the law is a basic conservative principle, as is limited government in the private lives of its citizens. You sound like a liberal.
Ah reverend, I'm just getting your goat.
