The "Specter" of illegality

The illegality of Bush's domestic espionage program, that warrantless eavesdropping, that is.

From The New York Times, Specter speaks out: "The Republican who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee said [yesterday] that he believed the Bush administration had violated the law with its warrantless surveillance program and that its legal justifications for the program were 'strained and unrealistic.' The program 'is in flat violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act,' said the chairman, Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, who will open committee hearings on Monday."

Read on. It's great.

(And what if the Bush Administration really has broken the law? Doesn't the buck stop in the Oval Office? Shouldn't Bush himself be held accountable? And so... what? What then? I'm sure you know where I'm going with this.)
