This week, the Senate is planning to quietly hold a vote that would pardon President Bush for breaking the law by illegally wiretapping innocent Americans without warrants. According to Senator Leahy, the bill would "...immunize officials who have violated federal law by authorizing such illegal activities."

President Bush broke the law, 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 pardon President Bush for breaking the law?

Republicans have no interest in pardon'ing Bush. Please provide at least a hint of evidence that someone on the right is interested in going there.

Sounds more like a lefty attempt to divert attention from the fact that Pelosi and Co would be forced to make the attempt to impeach the president by their hard core base.

That isn't a pardon, its political cover for Senators whose constituents demand that they support the president's surveilance activities.

It should be noted by the casual reader that we are discussing appropriate penalties to be used upon conviction of a capital offense such as treason.

NEOPO now you're talking, these are BS case, let's go for the biggies and show those idiots at the top that human lives are worth SOMETHING after all

very good point, in ether cases you mentioned nobody lost lives just some privacy and light stuff like that, but the war with so many killed and more on the horizont to be killed with no reason, there's a good reason to go after him

Bush would give the same sorta "but but.." arguments for his "interpretation" as Clinton gave for his of the 2nd. It would be interesting to see how many liberals can accept that some people feel as strongly about the 2nd as they might feel about the 4th. Even more interesting to see how many would respect those others by not stomping on the 2nd just because they don't find it particularly relavent or important.

I'm personally happier having the 4th trampled than the 2nd trampled, but I'd much prefer it if they'd both get the respect they deserve.

At this point this guy is completely out of control. I've always looked to 2009 as the end of the political psychosis that's gripped the country this decade. But now, for the first time, I'm tasting fear.
