Bush to Hold Press Conference at 10:30 a.m. EST This Morning
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
No .. but a number of House and Senators are
That is what they are aiming for
Then they will deal with 2008
Even if they can't impeachment him .. they want to damage him and the party
Remember how Reid kept saying on Sunday about this being the "most corrupt Congress"
To the Dems .... This is all about politics and the hell with the security of our nation
Getting rid of Bush/Cheney would simply move Hasert into the Oal Office....after him, the line of succession would be Stevens, then Rice.
All I could do was watch Fox and listen to Rush. I didn't even have satellite radio then.
They're just playing dumb again. Dumb about the intelligence on WMD, dumb about how the war is/was managed, dumb about spying.....and they think we should vote their dumb butts in as majority and into the white house? Their own leader today said if he'd only been better educated, maybe he would have been able to come up with a better word than "killed" when referring to the vote on the patriot act.
Liars...every last one of them.
Wonder what authority clintoon had to listen to us 24/7? Was there also a classified EO?
My post was only a cut and paste plus link to angkor's post, where he adds a wrinkle to his 50 USC 1802 discussion. I've copied your post (to me) back to you and to angkor.
I have nothing to say about the subject at this time and was just facilitating connection between shield & angkor.
I tend to think that will be an attempt to impeach each of the next few presidents - just to discredit them - even if it's just a publicity stunt. It seems to be 'the thing to do.'
Anyone else seen this thread?

Eavesdropping Program Netted Local Man
Dec 16, 2005, 02:35 PM
Reported by Kurt Ludlow
A former Columbus truck driver linked to Al-Qaeda was nabbed as part of a secret operation that's now out of the bag. The government spied on him and hundreds of other Americans without warrants.
It was a front page New York Times article that divulged for the first time that the National Security Agency spied on Americans, monitoring international phone calls and emails of hundreds of people including a Columbus man.
Columbus truck driver Iyman Farris pled guilty in 2003 to helping Al-Qaeda plan terrorist attacks in the US, and it was an admission that stunned his ex wife.
Geneva Bowling says, "It's still hard for me to believe that he did."
Two years later, Bowling knows that Faris was caught after agents monitored the couple's phone without a court order. She told the Associated Press, "If you're asking me if I think that's fair, I think it is."
Constitutional lawyer Benson Wolman says there's a reason court orders are required before the government can listen in on you; there must be probable cause you've done something wrong.
"While most of us aren't going to be victims of wiretap or eavesdrop, it's important to now that if the government can do it to the worst of us, it can do it to the best of us," says Wolman.
Supporters of the secret wiretapping order say desperate times since 9-11 call for desperate measures.
"In the perfect world we would just continue with laws as they were prior to 9-11 and we are unable to combat with due diligence and continue to face this new challenge. The fact is we can't do that," says one supporter.
A lot of lawmakers say they're troubled by this sort of domestic spying. The Senate has promised to hold hearings on it.

I'd just have to say that this guy's arrest was one for the good guys.
If halting the Patriot Act would mean that scuzzballs such as this couldn't be listened to, would you want to be the one responsible for stopping it?
I've been away for the past hour. Could someone summarize what I've missed? Just kidding. Stop.
After sending my e-mail to the White House I got an auto response sayhing thanks. I saw wome posts earlier that some weren't getting through. Anything new on that?
Who is Johnathon Turley? He is on the ABC top of the hour news stating that this is an impeachable act.
" Boxer is making it sound like the President is spying on ALL americans "
I guarantee you that tonight, the so called news shows will make it seem as if little old ladies, nuns and Sunday school teachers had their convos tapped.
The Democrats have been referring to those connected with Al Queda and planning another 9/11 as " law abiding American citizens."
The Democrats have done more to protect Al Queda than they have ever done to protect the country and the troops.
It's called being "obtuse" JJ and the Dims have it down to a science.
Very true, impeachment is HIP when you want to get back in the Clintoons good graces. Especially on Anniversary day!
Personally, I think they're wasting their time trying to get this "culture of corruption" charge to stick to the wall. In the end, we'll find that the Democrats were just merely projecting their problems onto everyone else.
It was that time in History that made me a stead fast freeper.
The way I read it...It would be unique if a citizen were a terrorist so the probablility would be unlikely on its face.
He a Democrat hack.
Who is Johnathon Turley?
He a Democrat hack.
I don't know about that, he thought Clintoon should have been impeached and possibly removed from office.
Why weren't they so up in arms when Newt's cell phone was tapped by a couple of old fart democrats a few years ago?
