Bush cites his use of a secret executive order giving the NSA permission to eavesdrop on Americans in the US as being legal and within his framework of powers as president.
Firstly, the NSA is barred by legislation from monitoring domestic communications and activities. Hello, Mr. Bush, this includes your little super covert executive order from 2002. There is nothing in the United States Constitution giving the president superseding powers over the laws of the United States, even during a time of alleged war!
Secondly, I think it is time someone gave Mr. Bush an accurate copy of the Constitution. He seems to be very much confused about his authority and responsibilities. He always refers to a copy of the constitution the rest of us have never seen. Is there a second, covert draft of the United States Constitution which was ratified by the Constitutional Convention?
I do not think so!
Republicans are in trouble. It's time for them to regroup or step out of the way!
