Bush's wiretapping ruled unconstitutional
"Judge Anna Diggs Taylor ordered the Bush administration to immediately stop the so-called "Terrorist Surveillance Programme", which she said violated the rights to free speech and privacy. She added that the programme also contravened the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which requires the government to obtain a warrant from a special intelligence court before it can intercept communications of Americans."
"Judge Taylor rebuked Mr Bush in her ruling, writing: "It was never the intent of the Framers [of the Constitution] to give the president such unfettered control, particularly where his actions blatantly disregarded the parameters clearly enumerated in the Bill of Rights. There are no hereditary Kings in America and no powers not created by the Constitution".

This will go to the Supreme Court without a doubt. If the Supremes strike the law down as unconstitutional, will Bush the First be charged with all the felonies he has committed?
No, the Republicans are not coming down. Besides, Democrats are really no better. Politicians are politicains, not much else going on there. All that has to happen is for Bush to announce, very close to the elections, some "discovery" of a vast plot of terrorism that used data from the illegal wiretaps. The ignorant public will gobble it up and stay the course. You heard it predicted here!
