This week, the Senate is planning to quietly hold a vote that would [span id="st" name="st" class="st"]pardon[/span]
President [span id="st" name="st" class="st"]Bush[/span] for breaking the [span id="st" name="st" class="st"]law[/span] by illegally wiretapping innocent
Americans without warrants. According to Senator Leahy, the bill would
"...immunize officials who have violated federal [span id="st" name="st" class="st"]law[/span] by authorizing such
illegal activities."
President [span id="st" name="st" class="st"]Bush[/span] broke the [span id="st" name="st" class="st"]law[/span], and courts are starting to agree. Judiciary
Committee Chairman Arlen Specter once said the program was illegal "on its
face." But he has now caved to pressure from Vice President Cheney, and
introduced legislation that marks a new low: the bill justifies everything
the president did. Worse, it makes it legal to wiretap Americans, in
secret, without warrants or oversight, whenever the administration wants
to.
So far, Democrats and some Republicans are holding strong against the
bill, and there are good chances to stop it if enough of us speak up. Can
you sign the petition opposing the Republican move to [span id="st" name="st" class="st"]pardon[/span] President
[span id="st" name="st" class="st"]Bush[/span] for breaking the [span id="st" name="st" class="st"]law[/span]?
