Here's why it's important to hold Bush accountable for unlawfully snooping without a warrant
If the President can unilaterally take us to war (which is what that foolish Congress did when they "authorized" him to do whatever it took);
...if the President can do THAT unilaterally (and he did) and if he then turns around and begins picking off our constitutionally guaranteed rights and liberties, one by one, in the name of fighting that war (which he is doing right now in plain sight);
...if he can do all that (which he has) how long will it be before we are living in a dictatorship or a monarchy?
Bush apologists trust him much, much, more than I do. They believe that he would never do that, ever.
Me? I'm not so sure. But so what? If I'm wrong, nothing happens.
But Bush apologists should ask themselves: what if they're wrong? By then, it'll be too late to stop Bush and Cheney from wrecking our country.
My background and life-experience tells me that the only thing keeping us from living under the Bush-Cheney junta is the US Constitution. That's why I will always, always, always defend the US Constitution before I will defend George Bush or any other President.

"But Bush apologists should ask themselves: what if they're wrong? By then, it'll be too late to stop Bush and Cheney from wrecking our country."
The time for the Bush apologists to come to their senses was before November of 2004, after the Republicans had already wrecked the fiscal ship of state for generations, destroyed America's moral authority by taking us into a war of aggression based upon scaremongering lies and divided this country against itself for the sake of their own power and riches.
It’s already too late for them and, probably, for the country. How can any document save us from demagogues and ideologues as long as hopelessly deluded voters support them?
E.g.,
“Citizens of the U.S.S.R. are guaranteed inviolability of the person. No person may be placed under arrest except by decision of a court or with the sanction of a procurator.
The inviolability of the homes of citizens and privacy of correspondence are protected by law.”

OK, Ara. I'm a Grinch.
Once liberals have changed the minds of the anti-Democrats through reasoned debate we’re going to reverse all of the damage done to the country by the “Republican revolution” and everything will be hunky-dory for our children and grandchildren. Good luck with that (sincerely).
