Congressional Approval Doesn't Matter
So, I read this morning on AOL news that a judge has finally decided that the spying on people without warrants by the president and his men is unconstitutional.
Finally.
The article went on to mention that due to this ruling, the President might have to seek congressional approval. ... I don't really get it. Did anyone bother to read the constitution? What can Congress do? Anything they do to approve it will just be unconstitutional in itself!
Anyway, as soon as the USA PATRIOT Act was passed, and I knew about it, I feared this result. It's not that I want my rights trampled on - far from it. But, terrorists that have been caught by unconstitutional means get a pass. They go free. Not yet, but when it's all said and done, that's what's going to happen. You can't pass an unconstitutional law and prosecute people with it. They will get away in the end, not be caught. There are only a couple explanations to this. One is that GWB was just hoping that nobody would notice. It got through Congress because of that, I think. The second is that GWB wants terrorists to go free. I don't know why he would want that, but if you look into his history, it could be possible. The Bin Laden family got out without being questioned.
Honestly, I'm not sure. Maybe he just didn't bother to pay attention in government class. But... some of those terrorists could've been caught without the unconstitutional help. And they would've stayed locked away. Now, who knows?
