Bush sounding more like Chancellor Palpatine every day

Apparently, the President of the U.S. has now declared himself above the law. So much for being a role model for Democracy and for showing respect for the Rule of Law.

Excerpts:

In the latest judicial rebuke of the Bush administration's tactics against terrorism, a federal judge in Detroit ruled Thursday that warrantless wiretapping of U.S. citizens violates the constitution and federal law. The decision is an embarrassment for President George Bush, but it also should be a source of shame for Congress. (Source: Toronto Star, Aug 19/06)
