Bush has the Justice Department publish the "justifications" for warrantless spying

in a 40-page document dated today, the justice department has rushed into print the so-called "justifications" for the power-crazed outrages the boy-king continues to perpetrate on his subjects...

"The NSA activities are supported by the President’s well-recognized inherent constitutional authority as Commander in Chief and sole organ for the Nation in foreign affairs to conduct warrantless surveillance of enemy forces for intelligence purposes to detect and disrupt armed attacks on the United States," Justice Department lawyers write, referring to the President's order to wiretap Americans' calls overseas.

It adds, "The President has the chief responsibility under the Constitution to protect America from attack, and the Constitution gives the President the authority necessary to fulfill that solemn responsibility."
