Last month, a federal judge in Michigan ordered the Bush administration to stop the wiretap program, saying it violated civil rights. The administration has appealed.
"The surest way to keep the program is to get explicit approval from the United States Congress," Bush said on Thursday.
Dear Mr. President:
I'm writing in response to a recent speech you made as reported by the Washington Post (quotation included above).
That's right! It WILL take the approval of the Congress. That's exactly what you should have done initially, sought the approval of Congress (the representatives of the people -- remember us?!) See, this is how our government works. Your job is to EXECUTE the law that the legislative branch creates.
And, for clarification Bushie, when I say "execute" I mean "to carry out" not "to put to death." I've noticed you are a little confused about which definition is applicable.
The Constitution has granted us rights. This letter is representative of the First Amendment. Please don't piss all over that one, too.
Best wishes,
B.E. Hart
PS: You're a tool.
