Members of Congress who continue to support President Bush's justifications for breaking federal law in NSA wiretapping are to be held complicit in that violation of law.
Complicit - Associated with or participating in a questionable act or a crime.
Bush authorizing the NSA warrantless wiretapping by definition violates federal law. Congress persons who avoid doing their constitutionally charged duty are complicit in the act of committing a crime. Knowledge and failure to inform authorities about acts of crime can result in prosecution in aiding and abedding the act of a felony. Particularly those congress persons informed by the administration prior to the disclosure of the NSA spying program to the public.
Congressional oath:
I, Loyal Citizen of the Republic, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
Acts by congressional leadership that stonewall any investigation into the illegal activities of the President in authorizing NSA warrantless wiretapping should be considered as complicity in the act of such felony and a direct violation of the Oath of Congressional Office. The first order of loyalty for representatives in Congress is to defend the Constitution. No where does it state that their duty is to protect the President and shield him from crimes committed while in office. Using that logic it is an easy to make a case in declaring numerous members of Congress complicit in the act of a felony.
So people now is the time to put the pressure on Congress for complicity in the act of a felony.
I have proof from James Sessenbrenner in the form a hand signed letter that states that Congress granted Bush the authority to bypass federal law in the pursuit of terror suspects and nothing was needed and Bush acted in full authority. This we know is blatantly false and was a simple stalling tactic by the GOP leadership. James Sennsenbrenner has done NOTHING to stop the continued violation of federal law by the Bush administration while having full knowledge that crimes have been committed.
Going into November complicity is the word. Who did the Administration inform about illegal NSA wiretapping and why did they not notify the authorities or the public?
