support, it should already be there. he should have planned for the potential of an immediate vote call though, not a meeting with the press.

it's obvious to most that the pResident has broken at least one law. what is one to do? censure is the only option right now, and i'll agree it's a tough one at that. it does bring bush and his lawbreaking to the forefront, however. if any dem is opposed to this, it is purely for selfish political reasons and, to that end, they are not doing the job they were elected to do, represent Americans and defend the laws of the land/constitution by checking the executive lies and power grab.

a vote would also push repubs to make a choice, stand by bush on a crucial vote, or go against him. with the elections coming up, i would bet this would be a hard choice for many given bush's shit poor numbers. a vote for bush ties them to ALL of his problems and could be used in Nov.

bush admitted to breaking at least one law straight out. if congress won't, at the very least, slap him on the wrist, they should all pack their bags and go home. altio was bad, but if the dems can't stand together on this, we are toast. if i break the law, i pay a price. i don't get to change the rules after the fact, that's a dictatorship.
