SO BUSH DOES IT ANYWAY. They get a modified program that was eventually okayed by Comey, but for weeks King George decided he was above the law and did it anyway. Incredible! What further proof do we need. Impeach Abu Gonzales now. Tomorrow we start proceeding GWB. What is left? How else can King George blow off US laws? It is PAST time to hold him accountable.
