The Dems FEAR that Bush is going to be pardoned from a CRIME...that has never been established to be a crime, I guess.
I think that Conyers and gang WAS planning on impeaching President Bush over the "illegal" war in Iraq...but, unfortunately, the Congress had a hand in THAT....so, I bet when the NSA program was "leaked" to the world, Soros grabbed that and told Conyers and Reid and gang...that THAT would be their "ace in the hole".
If Bush and Congress come to some sort of compromise..kind of like they are doing with this torture stuff...then that takes the "illegality" out of the equation, because Bush KNOWS they are going to try to impeach him.
HE is not going to hand it to them on a platter...and he still has VETO power, and the bully pulpit...so he has his own "ace in the hole".
I have a feeling after THIS Nov. elections...it will be no holds barred for Bush from now on...he has NOTHING to lose, therefore he better fight impeachment with every "trick" legally, in the book!!!
I really hate these people
