Let The Bastard Veto It!
Bush is a proven liar! Just recently we found out that he lied about waterboarding. (BIG surprise!) Even though we’ve been told differently, does anyone doubt that we Americans are the ones being spied on?
Now he wants protections for his telecom buddies. I don’t think so!
Congress is bound by rule of law, the constitution and U.S. citizens. (So is the Bush administration, but they’ve repeatedly thumbed their noses at the aforementioned). Let Congress do the right thing and put Bush’s veto on record for future generations to see.
Bush Threatens Veto in Surveillance Laws
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush threatened a veto Tuesday in the debate to update terrorist surveillance laws, assailing Democratic plans to deny protection from lawsuits for telecommunications providers that let the government spy on U.S. residents after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
[...]“If the president is sent a bill that does not provide the U.S. intelligence agencies the tools they need to protect the nation, the president will veto the bill,” wrote Mukasey and McConnell.
