3. That activist snot.
But I Alberto say it's OK, and I represent the justice department.

Everything's OK in bushworld, and my fearless leader can sign
whatever law he wants whether congress voted for it or not, and
he can change the law when he signs it anyway he wants...

... just because.

8. Judge Nixes Warrantless Surveillance
A federal judge ruled Thursday that the government's warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional and ordered an immediate halt to it.

U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit became the first judge to strike down the National Security Agency's program, which she says violates the rights to free speech and privacy.

12. Methinks the answer (you know this, too) is not "no" but
"Hell, No!" Their mantra is "I do what I want!" - just picture Cartman. (wait, I like Cartman too much to use him as a Bushista symbol).

11. All we need now is the House
and then a long - and I mean LONG - series of investigations as to this regime's evil behavior over the last few years, and then finally the cherry on top -- impeaching the chimp.
