Another Bush Power Grab
Democratic Underground has a great piece today about The Would-be Dictator outlining how bush clearly violated US law with his domestic spying program.
It sounds to me like this violation of the law is an impeachable offense. The Republicans impeached President Clinton for lying about having sex. bush's offense is certainly more serious.
But the majority of Americans seem to be letting bush slide -- again. Maybe most people think there's only a few more years of his term left so leave him alone. I understand. I think alot of people have bush-fatigue and Republican scandal-fatigue. It's sometimes overwhelming how corrupt they are.
I know this Republican-controlled Congress would never allow bush to be impeached, no matter how great the offense. I guess there really isn't much more we can do besides wait until he's gone.
It's depressing. The country deserves better. So let's work on the 2006 Congressional election to elect more Democrats and eliminate Republican control of at least one branch of our government.
