As the US Attorney scandal rages, another Alberto Gonzales scandal has flared up - this time concerning his pressuring then A.G. John Ashcroft to sign domestic spying orders when Ashcroft James B. Comey, former Deputy Attorney General of the United States, testifies on May 15th about an incident on the evening of March 10, 2004 (from Wikipedia):Comey, who was Acting Attorney General during the March 2004 surgical hospitalization of John Ashcroft, refused to "certify" central aspects of the NSA program at that time. The certification was required under existing White House procedures to continue the program. After Comey's refusal, the newspaper reported, Andrew H. Card Jr., White House Chief of Staff, and Alberto R. Gonzales, then White House counsel and now Attorney General, made an emergency visit to the George Washington University Hospital, to attempt to win approval directly from Ashcroft for the program.

So basically there was a spying bill essecntial for national security (Madrid terrorist attack happened the next day) and the Attorney General became ill before the reuathorization deadline. They wanted the approval of the Justice Department so they took it to his hospital room for him to sign. He refused so the President decided to reauthorize the spy program without approval from the Justice Department but later got their approval after the Attorney General recovered from his illness. So?

Evidence of GovCorp trying to bypass men of honest conscience to continue their illegal spaying.This was a few years ago. Seen some of the previous GovCorp corruption and lies?Now you see the latest report that the CIA used 4500 propaganda events/analysts to get the nation to continue to go to war? I shared it the other day.You see the latest on vaccines? Not safe, none, flu shots or kids cycles.58,000 soldiers forced to stay on to bolster numbers?AT&T Verizon get new spy contracts.

I know that. I was referring to Clinton being limited to two terms in office by the 22nd amendment.
CDJ2255 (April 12, 2008 at 4:01 am)
but i get what youre saying.

well lets not forget that there is a difference between impeachment and removal from office. The house voted to impeach bill, but on 45 senators (short of the 67 needed) voted to remove him from office. The house votes to impeach a president and the senate sits as a jury with the chief justice presiding. clinton was never forced out of office.

Kind of funny about the 22nd amendment. The Republicans wanted it because of FDR being elected four times, but all they really did was screw over both Eisenhower and Reagan, both of whom most likely would have won if they could have run a third time.Since it was passed, only one Democrat, Bill Clinton, has been forced out of office.

Yeah, i took the best president in the history of the United States (FDR), who was elected to four terms, but im glad as well.
