Mish, not only is this an impeachable offence, but spying on Americans without warrants does nothing to make America "safer". Even if they discovered a plot, any judge in America would toss the evidence as "fruit of the poisoned tree". The suspect would walk free. Bush's actions are illegal, impeachable and does nothing to make America safer.
The 4th Amendment:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
America is an idea. America is the rule of law and our civil liberties as embodied in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. America is a government of the people, by the people and for the people. America is still Jefferson’s shining beacon on the hill; an example to the World.
Impeach Bush. Impeach him now! |
