Illegal Spy In Chief

Via Talking Points Memo, a good quote by Sen. Russ Feingold on what we heard from the Attorney General. In addition to busting Gonzales for lying during his confirmation hearings, he sums up the situation well.

This administration reacts to anyone who questions this illegal program by saying that those of us who demand the truth and stand up for our rights and freedoms somehow has a pre-9/11 world view. In fact, the President has a pre-1776 world view. Our government has three branches, not one. And no one, not even the President, is above the law.

There's also good coverage by NPR of the illegal spying story, including audio of Sen. Feingold's questioning, among others.
