87. I agree...
...Bush crossed the line of the law with the wiretapping,

But, in no way an impeachable offense. I worked across the street from the World Trade center and came out of the World Trade center subway station every morning. I would have been there that morning if I hadn't changed jobs. And I was in the area still. That day was surreal. I never watch shows recapping it becuase it's burned in my brain, I will never forget and re-watching the events does nothing for me.

As much as I hate the Bush presidency, I do see it as his job to push the law to protect us and I just didn't feel that my being restricted from calling Yemen and talking about terrism without getting someone's attention is a severe threat to my freedom. Particularly not to the point that the threat of being blown up is a threat to my life. If he was, as was never really clear, tapping domestic calls w/o a warrant it had to be stopped.

Under the reality, I saw that one as the process working right. He pushed the law to stop terrorism and protect the american people. He was reigned in by the courts. Congress debated and passed new laws. No one got their way entirely. That's the way it should work.
