Indeed I do. Don't you?
Rep. Pete Hoekstra, a Michigan Republican who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, said on Fox News Sunday he had written a four-page to President George W. Bush in May warning him that the failure to disclose the intelligence activities to Congress may be a violation of the law.
It wasn't done in this case and it makes me wonder exactly what other cases it hasn't been done in.
But since congress can't be trusted to keep it's yap shut, I'd prefer the EB looking out for my neck when it comes to sensitive anti-terrorism programs, thankyouverymuch.
Oh yes, much better one political hack do it than 536. You are too willing to put a lot of power into the hands of one man. Washington warned against this. Unfortunately party faithful apparently don't care.
As for the SCOTUS (and allow me here to widen that to include a large share of the judiciary in the nation), that neuters congress (federal and state) AS WELL AS VOTERS with a dull rusty knife several times a year, it would just be refreshing to see congress stand up for their constituents and itself against these legal tyrants. Even a little bit.
What cases in particular are you addressing? Just the cases from SCOTUS mind you.
The congressman's letter says "may be a violation", yet you know that it has happened and the executive is guilty. I'm betting you know this without being able to show a shread of evidence otherwise.
The letter was sent in May. Maybe this program is already known in the public now.
I'm betting congress leaks this type of information within the day of receipt. At least the NYTimes showed the courtesy to give the executive several weeks of negotiation to convince them not to commit treason before thumbing their noses to that request.
