Who Do You Trust?

Jay at StoptheACLU.com notes a recent editorial:

Prior to her talk at Bridgewater College, scheduled for Thursday night, ACLU President Nadine Strossen questioned elements of the Bush administration’s surveillance program by posing an intriguing question.

“If Hillary Clinton were president, would they (conservatives) feel comfortable with (the electronic surveillance program)? I don’t think so,” Strossen said.

Jay responds:

[W]hether we can trust Congress not to leak this information is the real question, not some hypothetical question of whether or not we can trust an imaginary democrat President with the program.

Nope. Wrong. That’s not the question.

The real question is this: Can we trust George W. Bush to obey the laws of this country? As we already know, the answer to that one is a big fat NO!

Bush has broken the law. Ordinary citizens who break the law face consequences for their actions. Will such consequences apply to Emperor Dubya? If they do not, what does that tell us about the reality of the “rule of law” in this country?
