Rewarding High Treason
Today is Tuesday, 7 August 2007.
The Bush-Cheney regime didn’t admit they broke the law and overthrew the Constitution by wiretapping in violation of the FISA law.
They boasted of their crimes.
‘The President, as commander-in-chief of everything, can do whatever he wishes’.
Once upon a time, a previous George (III) got booted out of the Colonies for similar imperial crimes.
And now, a cringing, crass, and craven Congress has rewarded Bush’s crime with a new law … ‘OK, you can overthrow the Constitution for six more months, but then we reconsider’.
Once upon a time, overthrowing the Constitution was high treason.
I expect Republican members of Congress to fall to their knees and worship King George, but Democrats …
Phil Ochs put it well:

Who said this? At what press conference? You are inferring someone actually said this.
The punctuation " " means direct quotation.
' ' means paraphrase.
And, to gild the lily, King George and Co. act as if they agree with King Richard Milhouse: "If the President does it, it means it's not illegal."
