U.S. District Judge James Robertson, one of the 11 members of the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, has resigned in protest over President Bush's secret authorization of a domestic spying program.
Robertson sent a letter to Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts Monday, but in the letter, he did not give an explanation for his resignation. Two sources of the story said Robertson expressed concern with the authorization, and thought that it violated the workings of the Surveillance Court.

My Comments: This even more-so points to the fact that what President Bush did probably wasn't legal. Like I said in the earlier post, the government should be able to weed out those specific people, without spying on everybody.
The secret FISA court was considered the only body who could authorize surveillance and spying. No, Bush has over-ridden another part of government who had authority over him. Add that to a growing list.
We'll see where this leads.
NOTE: After clicking on the above link, you can scroll down a bit, and on the right of the page, there's a "Live Vote" asking whether Bush should be impeached. I'm not touching that subject right now, because I consider myself better than the likes of Kenneth Starr, but it should be noted that 85% of the people think that he should be impeached.
Just something to think about...

Maybe you should think about this. It does not matter whether these bufoons call themselves DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS. The fact is the problem is PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS!! Anybody that will honestly think about it can see the totally screwed up states of UTAH and MASSACHUSETTS. The Republicans run UTAH the Democrats run MASSACHUSETTS. You will not find two more screwed up states.
