Constitution is "quaint"Attorney General Abu G. Gonzales took up the defense of President Bush's illegal wiretapping program today. Speaking at Georgetown University, the chief law enforcement officer, under the president himself, described the requirements of FISA as cumbersome.Not surprisingly, the same hack who discarded the Geneva Conventions and circumvented laws prohibiting torture insisted that the President need not follow this law either when it is inconvenient to do so. Why is that, you ask? Because the president can do whatever he wants during this war on terror - no matter how long it lasts. The unmistakeable stench of Nixonitis fills the air. | +Save/Share | | |
