There are three branches of government in the United States: Executive, Judicial, and Congress.  There are checks and balances built into the system designed to keep the balance of power.  It was set up this way because the colonists did not want an autocratic government with King sitting on the throne.  

  When the Congress gave up their power to the President and allowed him to declare war, that balance was shifted.  That was the beginning of the downslide.

Now Bush is on the speech circuit trying to justify civilian wire taps order by him.   When the power is balanced, Judges make those decisions (as they should, charged with being impartial rather than political - that is why they frustrate Bill Frist).  Bush’s reasons are for the protection of the American people.  However he thumbed his nose at us when he said he has no intention of halting these missions.

Who is going to protect us for Bush?  Congress, do your job and impeach the King while you still have that authority.
