Once we allow government to break the law like this, it will not stop. Maybe not Bush, but the next President will take it a step further and so on.
It's bullshit.
It's why the FBI had to get judges to sign warrants against Mafiosas and Columbians and whomever...
Again, if they had such strong cases they could have gotten the warrants to allow this.
And how do we know who was tapped and who wasn't?
Just wait, when this is taken to the extreme (and it will be sooner or later), who will you cry to then? When the Right had a chance to tell a president he went too far, and they chose not to. And chose not to because they truly believed in what he did, but because their hate for the other half of the country was deeper than the protection of their rights.
No matter how you slice it, it is WRONG and the president needs to be impeached and sent to prison.
There were legal ways to get this same information, but he chose to abuse his power and put himself above the law and the Constitution. The very document he swore to protect.
