Spying on Americans

The right has sought to justify warrantless (illegal) spying on Americans by the NSA/FBI since the New York Times broke the story (after sitting on it for more than a year!).

The justification seems to be that it's okay to toss out the fourth amendment of the constitution to spy on American citizens that might be terrorists (or catholics with communistic leanings, or vegans or animal rights activists).

My take: IT IS NEVER JUSTIFIED FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO BYPASS THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!!

George W. Bush has admitted consenting to these illegal searches. He has, in fact, admitted to impeachable crimes and must be held accountable by congress.

If he is not, cowardice and paranoia will have won out.
