It is not, much to Bush's and Cheney's dismay, to unilaterally determine what the laws are and how or if they should be obeyed. If they wanted to make changes to the existing FISA law, then they should have approached the Congress - theoretically a generally friendly Congress to Bush and Co. - and proposed the changes. That's how our system works. Clearly, Bush and Cheney didn't believe such a system would be conducive to their aims. And they must have believed that many Republicans would have balked at their suggestions. Hence, the secrecy and the unilateral action. There is NO justification for this egregious violation of our laws. Bush should be brought up on articles of impeachment at the earliest possible date. Anything less is a sellout.

Nice to hear this verified anyways, Larry. Essentially what you're saying this is not a concern on short notice to the point paperwork and request foolow-up would not be mitigated?

We even trained him!? As Barney Fife used to say we should've "nipped it in the bud!". It just makes one wonder how this guy can get so far without anyone doing anything. Oooh Rah- Tap Hey Larry-
