The worst consequences of the Bush wiretaps haven't even hit yet.

[Justice Is Comin]

Obviously, it is pretty clear Bush has violated federal law by ignoring the FISA court. No twisting or contorting of the executive ordered illegal wiretaps can be explained away. Even Alan Dershowitz, professor of law at Harvard, who takes great pride in his constitutional legal knowledge, has said Bush violated the law. As we know, this paves the way literally and credibly for impeachment.

But what also has not been thought of is that the names of all the individuals who were the subject of these warrant-less wiretaps will now have to be disclosed, even if in secret session. And any information gathered as a result of this eavesdropping will now not be admissible in a court proceeding. Because the information was illegally obtained.

All of these cases, which may or may not have had merit if only the simple process of a warrant had been secured, will have to have all this evidence thrown out. It will be the first thing any lawyer of these individuals will demand. Not only that, it will possibly open up every case of every conviction previously. It will put tremendous pressure on the FOIA office to release information to anyone who requests it to see if their name has been targeted or business covertly surveiled.

This has limitless repercussions. The government could easily be subject to civil liability and wrongful act lawsuits. This scandal will dominate the news for months and so will the domino effects. Forget the effects of Alito, the State of the Union address. People will be be more outraged looking at his face or hearing his voice every day.

Sit back, we're going for a great ride.
