"Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires -- a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so."

I'd say "Impeach the Bastard!" (After all, Nixon got impeached for pretty much the same thing: doing his damnedest to make himself king). But then, we'd get stuck with President Cheney, who's worse. If we impeach Cheney, we'd get Rice -- sure, we'd have a black woman president, but she has shown no signs of being anything but Bush's apologist. If we could impeach the whole stinking lot, and have a new election, I'd go for it in a heartbeat.
