Impeach George W. Bush. Impeach Him Now.

Jane Harman doesn't seem to understand that a law already contains a provision that requires that people comply with it. Atrios comments:

Eschaton: Just on CNN, it appears Jane Harman may have finally woken from her slumber and her and other Dems have introduced legislation which would require the NSA to comply with FISA. Of course, FISA already requires them to comply with FISA so, you know, maybe if we super-double-mean-it the administration might listen.

I suppose it's a step, but... members of Congress [need] to come to terms with the fact that Bush and his administration have declared the right to violate any law they want to violate. They've said it very plainly. They haven't really tried to hide it. Why everyone pretends not to hear I do not understand.

The President's duty is to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. George W. Bush has not.

Impeach George W. Bush. Impeach Richard Cheney. Impeach them now.
