Bush Should Be Impeached NOW

By Gerald Rellick

With the recent revelations by the New York Times of George Bush’s domestic surveillance program without court-approved warrants, Bush is seen to be in clear violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), passed in 1978 specifically to prevent the kind of illegal surveillances that occurred in the Nixon years. However, the second article of impeachment against Nixon, directed at illegal surveillance, added that Nixon misused federal agencies “for purposes unrelated to national security…”

Perhaps seeing this as a loophole, Bush and his legal team initially claimed that the president has the legal authority to contravene or suspend certain laws in the interests of national security in his role as commander in chief. This is clearly a specious argument and raises the obvious question of which laws the president is obligated to follow and which he is free to ignore. Bush’s stance prompted one Los Angeles Times letter writer to ask if Bush might suspend the 2008 elections if he felt it was “in the interests of national security.”
