I'm a big fan of Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI). As a former US Attorney he's been very critical of what Bush has done to the DoJ and was one of the most critical of Gonzales. Today he gave a speech (real player video). saying he read secret DoJ Office of Legal Council decisions that basically confirm that Bush thinks he's above the law. "The President, exercising his constitutional authority under Article II, can determine whether an action is a lawful exercise of the President’s authority under Article II" and "The Department of Justice is bound by the President’s legal determinations".
It's really time to impeach him. This is violating his oath to uphold the Constitution. Really.
