Bush Eavesdropping

What do you guys think about Bush authorizing domestic eavesdropping without court approval? Was it a “power grab” or a necessity to prevent terrorism?

Bush says eavesdropping “helps save lives”

Powell says spying OK, but Bush should’ve got court approval first

Gore calls for special counsel to investigate

My thoughts: Would it have really been that hard for him to get court approval? It looks like he doesn't believe the law applies to him and is seeing what he can get away with. I promise you had this been Clinton, he would have been impeached by now; terrorism or not.

My Hopes: The Democrats take over everything in 06 and 08 and then we'll see what Republicans really think about an all-powerful President! BWHAHAHA! Oh well, I can dream.

Happy Martin Luther King day! I honestly dont understand why we celebrate King and Rosa Parks. If they were to break the law in this manner today, they would be trashed by the media and probably executed. They sure as hell wouldn't be given a holiday. A would like to add, that this is not a put-down of their accomplishments, but a question of why we celebrate what they did when dissent and questioning authority is still frowned upon today. Martin Luther King day shouldn’t just be a celebration of the man, but a reminder that everyone in this country deserves equal rights.

Enough of my rambling.
