Who's In Charge Here?

So according to numerous reports out of the Senate yesterday, our Attorney General thinks Bush might have a basis for ordering warrantless wiretaps (warrantless in both senses, I guess).

So? Why does the Congress always go to Gonzales whenever there's a question about legality? He's a LAWYER for the PRESIDENT, by his own admission, and he can't be trusted to give a straight answer anyway (see first point about being a lawyer). He does not, at this point, represent the American people, only his ass-play buddy, GW.

Besides, since when do we ask LAWYERS to interpret the law? Isn't that what we have a series of courts for, one of them higher than all the others--supreme, you might even say? Shit, if the media put half the faith in Nixon's proclamations that his interpretation of the law was the correct one as they do in Bush's house boy, there would've been no Watergate scandal.

Point made simple: the administration doesn't get to interpret the law. It follows the law or else it gets charged with a crime.

So again, who gives a flying fuck what Alberto Gonzales has to say about the legality of wiretaps?
