Will Bush be next?

I agree with the federal judge's ruling, but unfortunately, I don't think that this is necessarily an indication that the people of the US are taking their country back from the neocons. For one thing, one judge's opinion doesn't necessarily reflect popular opinion. Also, you can be sure that Bush & Co. will fight this thing tooth and nail. Alberto Gonzales has said so.
Ricky T: Who's a fan of judicial activism? It's funny how the conservatives constantly complain about the "judicial activism" of liberal judges, but overlook the obvious cases of judicial activism of conservative judges, such as was the case in 2000 when the Supreme Court handed Bush the presidency on a silver platter.

It was the only decision according to article IV of our Constitution...All that had to be done was run it through court and the Constitution takes care of the rest. These morons here don't have a clue that with out freedom our Nation weakens.

No NEO-CONS still have the upper hand and they are still in control, we have a long way to go before the constitutional rights could be restored. That was a step and hope we will see more.

Yes enough is enough, NEOCONS are losing their "juice" as evidenced by low approval ratings regarding the quagmire in Iraq, this momentum will continue through the mid-term elections with Dems taking control and finally culminate with the impeachment of DUH-bya and Cheney, our beloved V.P. who shot his friend in the head, with friends like that...

We are trying to take America back but not as fast or with as much sense of urgency as I would like.

I would hope so, but there is the politics of hate and fear that has worked for them before. I would hope that somebody will now press charges against Bush and his criminal administration, especially Gonzales for this despicable act.

Ah, I see we have a fan of judicial activism here.
For the record, there's nothing even slightly unconstitutional about the NSA's wiretapping.
Read the constitution and you'll find nothing in there that even slightly prohibits it.
Not to mention the Privacy Act specifically ALLOWS it.
What we had in this ruling is the Judicial Branch of the government attempting to grab more power than they have.
They ruled that something was unconstitutional, not based on the constitution or law, but based merely on the fact that they considered it wrong.
The judicial branch needs policing, they are trying to upset the checks and balances inherent in our government by making themselves the most powerful branch.

Nope. Just like one swallow does not a summer make.

Fear will rule America for four more years....
