2. Oh, you just KNOW they will ...
... They'll all be crying like Nancy Kerrigan, and demanding to know what RIGHT the US government has to 'spy' on REPUBLICANS!

But hey ya know, "If they haven't done anything wrong they don't have anything to worry about". How many times have you heard that when you objected to * unauthorized spying on Amurcans?

13. I hope so too, so that the ACLU can tell them to go pound sand...
I bet the prosecutors had all their ducks in line for that wire.

16. No one is completely pure
Even for those congressmen who are not tainted by this particular scandal, can you imagine all the other conversations that got picked up? Wonder how many discussed their private lives and indiscretions with ol' Duke in the cloakroom?

Wouldn't those be some wonderful transcripts to get your hands on?

15. The rapture won't stop the whining - why did so and so get to go, I
was better than him, certain Repugs are more persecuted than other ones you know?

It's ingrained, maybe even genetic.

> Will Repubs ... go running to the ACLU for help?

If they do, the ACLU just might help them.

After all, the ACLU were willing to go to bat for Rush.

12. Probably Not Because I'm Sure The Proper Warrants Were Issued
for the wire, so the ACLU would have no beef...I think. Though that wouldn't stop the Repubs from screaming about their rights. I'll laugh like hell when they do!

"Can't a sleazy Republican take a bribe in private anymore??!!! What happened to the right to privacy in this country! I'm appalled!"
