Reply #75: The NSA was the one instance I saw where he DEFINITELY

broke the law and even admitted he did. And now we see how the Republicans are going to change the law for him. This would not be the case if Dems were in the majority. But I don't see a big movement of people out in the country (other than us in the Dem base plus maybe some libertarians) outraged by it. Even Bill Maher talked about how he wasn't all that worked up about it. Here is a clear cut case, and it's like we already lost.

The WMD/Iraq case is where there is more anger and outrage in the public. But when I delve in, I find most of the evidence as circumstantial or could be interpreted a few different ways. I think an impeachment proceeding hinged on proving that the * administration knowingly lied to the public to get us into war would be next to impossible to prove. I think Sen. Kerry, the prosecutor, would concur on that.

So I think we should continue to talk about these things and definitely investigate it, but leave the I and the C words out of it. And I also think we should use Tim Kaine's approach by focussing on what we intend to do to fix government, and our criticism of the Republicans should be about the corruption, the incompetence, and how they are not doing the people's work.
