Johnathan TURLEY On Countdown

"This president has been routinely, flagrantly violating the constitution that he took an oath to uphold"

Keith: Is Administration showing signs of nervousness about which of its members will get the first subpoena?

Turley: Yes...Administration KNEW that they never did have the authority. They are gaming the system until the very point where they will be held responsible and then they change course.

Gaming The System
Press Briefing by Tony Snow
MR. SNOW: What happens is that the program pretty much continues -- the program continues. And the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has put together its guidelines and its rules, and those have met administration concerns about speed and agility when it comes to responding to bits of intelligence where you may be able to save American lives.

Q Well, the President has always argued that -- I mean, he has the ability, he has the authority not to --

MR. SNOW: Yes, and he still believes that.

1. The GOP have had their way for so long

they will find it hard to adjust.

Besides it's about trying to convince the 35% of Bush supporters that he is in fact, a dare I say it, a crook? They used to complain about the KGB and other countries which had dictatorsships...........

2. Everyone who still supports don't give a flying-fu*k if W has been routinely, flagrantly

violating the constitution that he took an oath to uphold: that was just another of the big lies and that lie and all the others in aggregate just don't matter a whit.
