Bush ignores USA Partriot Act, "Who needs it? Not me!"
The backbone of the story first reported in the NY Times and now all over is that Bush authorized the NSA to ignore the FISA and USA PATRIOT Acts and go ahead and eavesdrop on US Persons in contravention of those laws.
Shorter: Bush thinks it's OK to break the laws Congress makes if his judgment contradicts the law.
If the story pans out - which it is seeming to being the WH is not denying it - this is the most blatant instance of Bush thwarting the will of Congress to date. Hopefully the story isn't too complex for Bush's "common men" to wrap his head around. This ought to be huge.

Not surprising...Bush really has no idea what's going on. The President has become more and more detached and has been leaving more and more issues to the hideous duo of Rove and Cheney. Bush prefers to live in a gray world of religious idealism.
There is a growing consensus among republican'ts to do something about this. I smell impeachment in the air - to bad about the lineup after he's thrown out of office. . .
