13. We need a follow-up poll...
I.e. should Bush be impeached for breaking US law?

Barron's (of all opinion pages) broke the ice on this one (at long last). Why has this idea lost momentum? Why aren't more Democrats in congress openly speaking of impeachment? Why haven't they drafted a bill of impeachment yet? It doesn't matter that the Republicans control the house. What matters is to have the words "Bush" and "impeachment" on every front page in the country, preferably before the state of the union address.

15. I believe that the Dems will follow;
But follow this link. This is big. He's an old fart to old farts, however he has a strong following with right leaning middle aged males. Something that may be missing with only Dems leading the fight.

William Safire: "I'm with the critics"

http://www.crooksandliars.com/

Mr. Safire was on MTP today and condemed President Bush's warrantless eavesdropping on U.S. citizens by using his own personal experiences to justify his position.

Safire:

"I was writing a speech on welfare reform, and the president looks at it and says, "OK, I'll go with it, but this is not going to get covered. Leak it as far an wide as you can beforehand. Maybe we'll get something in the paper." And so I go back to my office and I get a call from a reporter, and he wants to know about foreign affairs or something, and I said, "Hey, you want a leak? I'll tell you what the president will say tomorrow about welfare reform." And he took it down and wrote a little story about it. But the FBI was illegally tapping his phone at the time, and so they hear a White House speechwriter say, "Hey, you want a leak?" And so they tapped my phone, and for six months, every home phone call I got was tapped. I didn't like that. And when it finally broke--it did me a lot of good at the time, frankly, because then I was on the right side--but it told me how easy it was to just take somebody who is not really suspected of anything for any good reason and listen to every conversation in his home--you know, my wife talking to her doctor, my--everything.

"So I have this thing about personal privacy. And I think what's happening now is that the--as a result of that scandal back in the '70s, we got this electronic eavesdropping act stopping it, or requiring the president to go before this court. Now, this court's a rubber-stamp court, let's face it. They give five noes and 20,000 yeses."
