Turley on NSA Spying: “I don’t know of a more potential charge of impeachment”

I'm so glad that George Washington University Constitutional law professor, Jonathan Turley, has the same reading of this as I do. He says that this would be a "clear impeachable offense." Bush was told that what he was doing was illegal and yet he did it anyway.

There can no longer be any question over whether or not this President has committed impeachable offenses, the question now is whether or not Congress has the balls to pull him on it.

You state this is if it's some kind of fact when actually it is anything but. There are in fact many questions and I find it most amusing for people to be acting so self-assured over issues they can't possibly have enough facts with which to draw a conclusion.

He was told by his own Justice Department that what he was doing was illegal, and yet he continued doing it. Justice has to sign off on the legality of any act that he was engaging in. Justice refused to do so. Indeed, an astonishing number of them threatened to resign.

However, it's no great surprise to find you leaping to his defence and arguing that the Attorney General and most of the Justice Department must be somehow wrong if they find fault with your Great Leader.
