President Bush claimed today that the failure of House Democrats to approve an extension of a controversial domestic surveillance wiretapping program means “our country is more in danger of an attack.” Vice President Cheney said he also is very concerned.
Since Bush’s unprecedented powers as president are not compromised, Cheney is above any law and Republicans could have voted an extension of the wiretap law beyond its already extended February 16 expiration date before they toodled off for a 12-day recess, how can the U.S. be more in danger? Please be specific.
