Get ready, it looks like it’s time to impeach the entire Congress. At least that’s what I would expect after both chambers voted to make the NSA wiretap program law.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 — President Bush signed into law on Sunday legislation that broadly expanded the government’s authority to eavesdrop on the international telephone calls and e-mail messages of American citizens without warrants.
Afterall, Zogby told us that a majority of Americans supported impeachment for the program.
Democrat Senator Jim Webb, in March of this year, called the program a “seriously under-examined issue” and demanded we “restore simple accountability to our government.” This past week, he voted to codify the program.
Democrat Senator Diane Feinstein said of the program in May
“There is one basic in all of this. And that is that domestic surveillance of Americans, regardless of who is on one end of the phone or where they are, must be by individual warrant by a court on a showing of probable cause. That’s the exclusive standard in FISA. The Administration has chosen to disregard this law. For the life of me, I do not understand why.”
And then she voted to make the program legal.
I guess they were just mad they didn’t get any of the credit for the Bush administration’s tough stance on terrorists… so they had to act quickly before the next printing of campaign materials went out…
