July 24

The echo in this next item is just too loud for me to allow them to pass without my making a comment about them. Substitute Bush for Nixon and Iraq for Watergate and I think you will see what I mean. On the 24th in 1974, The United States Supreme Court unanimously ruled that President Nixon did not have the authority to withhold subpoenaed White House tapes and he was ordered to surrender them to the Watergate special prosecutor. With the lack of judicial oversight on searches and the recording of telephone calls without court orders and all sorts of other stuff like those going on, I am patiently waiting for Bush to deliver his ‘I am not a crook’ speech.
