Without a doubt, we are involved in a constitutional crisis. We have a president who has broken the law and continues to do so. When representatives and senators are asked about the president spying on americans without a warrant, they hem and haw and don't agree that he is breaking the law or they don't know enough about it to make a decision. Then there are the ones who want to wait for the results of an investigation, while the chair of the senatorial intelligence committee is saying there will be no investigation! Finally one ethical senator steps forward and wants the president censured for his actions and he's called unpatriotic, helping the terrorists, and anything else the cowards can think of to denigrate him. Something is very wrong here! Bush has divided this country so much, nobody knows what patriotism is anymore.I say patriotism is Senator Russ Feingold, Rep. John Murtha, and the whistleblower who divulged the criminal NSA spying by the president. We have a president whose policies stem from lies and more lies. The democrats must demonstrate to the american people that they are their champions and how their policies differ from the republicans. The american people want and need an alternative to the republicans. The democrats must show them they are that alternative and not a party of wimps. That is done by declaring what their policies are and standing FIRMLY behind them.
