When One Man Can Make Law
You do not have a democracy.
If the Congress is not able to check the abuse of power of the executive in this case of domestic spying then our democracy is lost. Our nation requires the rule of law to exist. Our laws are the will of the people, defining the conditions of their mutual existence, expressed to their representatives and enacted by their congress. For this process to be supplanted by the dictates of a single man gives you just what the action implies - a dictatorship.

The Congress must act to undo this affront to our liberties and President George W. Bush must be removed for office for his offense against the people of the United States.

1. Yesterday bush said Democracies do not make war.
Figure that was about as close to the truth as the war-monger dictator ever got.
