By King George's Own Standards, He Broke The Law
During his press conference today, King George (a.ka. Idiot Son, b.ka. George W. Bush) said he's fully confident that his domestic spying program is on strong standing, legally. He said "There's no doubt in my mind it is legal."
But King George, wait a minute! You told an entirely different story in Buffalo, New York on April 20, 2004. Here's what you had to say about domestic spying then: "Secondly, there are such things as roving wiretaps. Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires -- a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way."
So by your own definition in April 2004, King George, you broke the law.
And one more thing: you can't try to change the dynamic of the conversation, by trying to change the language, and have people say "terrorist surveillance program" instead of "domestic spying program."
