Ah, nothing like the smell of fringe nuttiness in the early AM...
Stop funding these loons
The only "no brainers" were sitting on that stage of ACLU stooges. Tribe is the exception; he only has a left brain.
Isn't Conyers attempting to impeach Bush?
Impeachment was on the agenda even before the 2004 election and this NSA issue wasn't even on the horizon. I remember Rush saying that if Bush won the election he would be impeached. The left was/is looking for any excuse.
Three things:
1. This "political climate" is a state of war.
2. The "no-brainer" response did not occur when the Clintons lifted the over 900 private citizen's FBI files for the White House's political review.
3. This idiot cannot distinguish between those events and the present but the American people surely can.
If an American is communicating with a foreign agent being watched by the United States for national security purposes, the foreign agent has no presumption of U.S. constitutional "rights" against "domestic spying" and that communication with an American does not extend the American's "rights" to that comunication either.
The AmCriminalLibUnion and many others miss the point that foreigners do not gain our rights simply because they are communicating with us, and our rights do not extend to protecting a foreign agent by shielding him under our rights.
There would be no impeachment because there has been no impeachable offense. FISA, in and of itself, is not the only or the definitive word on this matter.

NOW can we stop funding the ACLU????? please!!!!!!!!!
No surprise. Virtually everything the liberals do shows they have no brains.... and no balls.... and no patriotism.
"If the political alignment in the country were otherwise, impeachment would be a no-brainer," said Laurence H. Tribe, professor of constitutional law at Harvard University.
So he's saying that if, say, Algore or sKerry were in charge, the Pubbies would be calling to impeach them?
And he bases this on...what, exactly? If either of those two tools were in office, I'd be wearing a burka already. *Rolleyes*
The libtards won't introduce legislation updating FISA and/or AUMF, but they WILL blow about impeachment of a president who's doing what decades of (mostly Democrat) presidents have done since FDR at least. Oohhhhkay ...
"Tribe added that wiretapping is not an inherent power of the presidency. "That free flowing inherent power is the very thing we fought a revolution against."
Imagine that: a Harvard dingbat professor disagrees with the President.
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
Amazing how the ACLU knows that this program is in violation of the law without knowing anything about the program other than one exist?
First, nothing has been adjudicated as illegal, just, an opinion that something may be a high crime or misdemeanor, yet alone a conviction. Second, an impeachment, in the current political climate, should result in a not guilty verdict, setting precedent that the president does have the objected to powers, and, should be counter productive to the oppositions goal, to get Bush.
The implication here is that whenever the opposition party from the president is in charge of the House, we are going to have an impeachment.
The ACLU is a haven for bums.
