This post has nothing to do with sports, but I feel the need to somewhat respond to Ultra's rant on George Bush. For me, I am just curious what all the hullabaloo is about. So what if George Bush is a liar? The fact is that everyone politician lies at some point and time. For me personally, I don't put much stock in any president and haven't since Ronald Reagan. The fact is that president's don't make laws; only Congress and the Senate can do that. The president can stand on his bully pulpit and push Congress to enact laws, but it is up to them. Then the Supreme Court will weigh in on whether or not it passes the "constitutional mustard" or not.
Speaking of Supreme Courts, isn't it ironic that everyone was worried about the two appointees of President Bush and how the court would somehow become a "right wing" fanatical entity. This is the same Supreme Court who ruled against the President on the detainees. The fact is that both of his appointees were good ones who swore to uphold the law and not an allegiance to a president.
As for a loss of privacy, anyone who thinks that the FBI or CIA or Ma Bell for that matter isn't already listening to what they want to is just plain naive. Wire tapping is nothing new and as long as my conversations are legal on the phone, I am not worried about my civil liberties. The last time I looked, the enemy was not our government, but those who attack our country and its innocent civilians.
