I can trade insults with anyone, but perhaps you should learn to read before you start insulting other people .... on the chance that you aren't totally blind ... my post 146 ...

"OK I'll take the other side:

The Constitution is the highest law of the land. The President takes an oath "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Violating a citizen's civil rights is a felony ...the Fourth Amendment says:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Some things need to be reported ... this is one. Using Executive Power to hide criminal offenses is against everything this country stands for ... in 2009 when President Hitlery Clinton has the FBI Mainframes moved to the White House ... and starts blackmailing everyone .... don't complain!"

Now my point:

While I don't like the NYTs, and the timing of their article sucked, they are correct on this issue. The President's most important job is NOT protecting the United States from attack .... it is what he SWORE to do ... PRESERVE, PROTECT, AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.

Civil Rights are the cornerstone of the United States ... Is it worth violating (and committing a felony) civil rights? I believe it is a balancing act .... the answer is sometimes yes and sometimes no .... President Bush has done just OK on the WOT. It is time to start reclaiming our civil rights and start restricting the Federal Government ....
