‘When The President Does It, That Means That It Is Not Illegal’
‘When The President Does It, That Means That It Is Not Illegal’
Thirty years ago today:
Q: So what in a sense you’re saying is that there are certain situations…where the president can decide that it’s in the best interests of the nation or something, and do something illegal.
NIXON: Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.
Q: By definition.
NIXON: Exactly, exactly.
Watch it:
The echoes of President Nixon’s radical interpretation of American democracy are still heard frequently today, most notoriously in relation to President Bush’s warrantless domestic spying program.
In Dec. 2005, it was revealed that Bush had “signed a secret order in 2002 authorizing the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on U.S. citizens and foreign nationals in the United States, despite previous legal prohibitions against such domestic spying.”
A few months later, on Feb. 6, 2006, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales came before Congress and was asked to explain why President Bush didn’t simply work with Congress to develop a system that was legal:
KENNEDY: Now, we were facing the issue of electronic surveillance at another time, in 1976, when we had the attorney general, Ed Levi, and President Ford. And they followed a much different course than you have followed. Ed Levi came and consulted with us. … [T]hey dealt with the Congress, and they got FISA. … And the question that I have for you is, why didn’t you follow that kind of pathway, which was so successful at a different time? … Why didn’t you follow that pattern?
GONZALES: Sir, the short answer is that we didn’t think we needed to, quite frankly.

Honestly Judge, I didn’t know she had to be 18 and agree to have sex, quite frankly.
May 19th, 2007 at 10:34 amTwo Nixon era White House interns: Cheney & Rumsfeld. Picked up some nasty habits from a master.
Nixon was an authoritarian, paranoid pain in the butt. He was also about 400 times the president that GWB is. As much as I hated the s.o.b. while he was in office, in retrospect his administration looks pretty damn good. Take a look at the “major initiatives” in the Wikipedia entry on Nixon and compare that to the “accomplishments” of this administration.
May 19th, 2007 at 10:38 amFamous last words from a dumbsh*t Prez who had to resign or be impeached.
Looks as if history is about to repeat itself…
May 19th, 2007 at 10:39 amSo why exactly did he accept a presidential pardon? Oh that’s right, he was gonna end up in federal prison for taking part in a conspiracy to obstruct justice. Must be a flaw in his reasoning there somewhere.
May 19th, 2007 at 10:49 amGonzales and the President don’t have the courage to just come and make the claim that FISA is unconstitutional.
They know they would lose in both the court of law and the court of public opinion.
For more background, see:
May 19th, 2007 at 11:02 am“The Republicans’ Constitutional Crisis.”
it also perfectly echoes
the arguments mr. dick
cheney made on thursday
in the wilsons’ civil suit
against him — he claims
he has “absolute immunity”
for his actions — he is a unique
office of government, or so he
has said. . .
astonishing.
or not so — given that he, and
rumsfeld worked in nixon’s white house.

http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=taxonomy/term/17
May 19th, 2007 at 11:06 amAnd we keep letting them get away with it. By we, I mean our elected “Representatives”.
Have you heard what he’s doing to Michael Moore? Why? Because the last six years of his regime, he’s be enable to get away with more and more to the point that he is now at the same point Hitler was he started his book burnings, and targetting the intelligensia who were turning German culture more thought-based.
If Impeachment doesn’t get on the table soon, I shutter to think of what’s next.

May 19th, 2007 at 11:08 amOur country is looking more and more like Hitler’s Germany every day. We have a dictator rather than a President and men who think they are above the law. Do the Republics really want to go where they are heading? They need to think about the precedent they are setting because it will apply to a Democratic administration too. Do they really want to have a Democratic President who has dictatorial powers? I just can’t imagine what the Republics would be saying today if it was a Democratic administration that was trampling on our constitution and turning our country into a fascist state. But, since the Republic’s plan is to make themselves a permanent majority, there is no need for them to think that way.
But if they were smart, they would be following the will of the people. Because, like it or not, we are still a democratic government with the right of the people to determine who leads us. The Republics can’t depend on stealing another election. Ohio now has a Democratic Governor and Secretary of State and Florida has a Governor who seems to be an ethical fellow. And the Democrats have a majority that can pass election reform laws (which Bush will Veto, but that will only help the Democrats further).
2008 - a Democratic cakewalk and a Republic bloodbath. It can’t come soon enough.

You don’t think Rove has his Attorney Generals, Loyal Bushies all, all lined up and ready to tackle voter fraud going into the ‘08 election?
You don’t think Rove has had enough time to repair the “faulty” electronic voting/tabulation machines that somehow malfunctioned last election, allowing Democrats to win?
You don’t think there’s a master plan in place to guarantee Republican control after 2008?

May 19th, 2007 at 11:22 amI truly believe the only solution out of this is a 3 (or 4) party system. But, the way things are now, it’s the Big Guys : Dems and Repubs.
There are only a handful of people in Washington that I like : Kucinich, Feingold, Ron Paul.
I love my country but fear my government. I pray that there is a backlash against the Criminal Bush Years (of course, it is a Crime Family : The Bushies).
Can you imagine the Social Unrest if we went into Iran. I just pray everyday that this doesn’t happen.
Iran is 6 X as big as Iran : we f****d up in Afghanistan and Iraq. Of course, we went over there for OIL, Hegemony, Control. All the War Profiteers, The OIL CEO’s are raking in the big bucks. Why do you think Haliburton is moving to Dubai?

May 19th, 2007 at 11:26 amI agree with Kate that it will be a GOP blood bath. Karl lost his grip in 2006 when his plan failed to retain Congress for the GOP. His ability to effectively maneuver outside the law will be diminished going forward. Also, many of his dirty tricks just don’t work anymore with anyone but the koolaid drinkers. The GOP has lost the independent voters in a big way, and is going to pay dearly for it.
May 19th, 2007 at 11:26 amCheney’s using that atrified logic in his defense in the Plame Leak case. “so what if I leaked that name? I have immunity because I’m the VP.” The President and VP have just flushed the constitution down the crapper. That darn constitution….something about no person being “above” the law.
May 19th, 2007 at 11:28 amGood Morning all, good post’s….I agree with you on most point’s with one major exception….2008 is not going to be a cake walk for the Dem’s…If Palosi ,Reid and the Dem’s don’t stand their ground, stop pandering to bull shit bush, stop funding this war and impeach these basterd’s hundred’s of thousand’s of us are no longer going to support them, indeed we will vote them out…Perhaps back a 3rd party or just not vote at all….I and many have had it with the playing games while thousand’s of innocent’s die for bush’s war and profit…
I know what your going to say, there aren’t enough vote’s, bla, bla, bla..Enough already…The Dem’s are playing the same game the repukes are right now, hedging their bet’s and playing for vote’s…Instead of taking care of our constitution, country and the people they are working with word’s to try a take over in 2008…I and hundred’s of thousand’s of other peace activests are here and every where to say not good enough….Atleast broadcast that impeachment is back on the table and start investigation’s…So far, they (the dem’s) behavior is lacking at best and lately enabeling….Bush vetoed, they should of shouted from the roof top’s and said fine, end of funding bring the troop’s home……Blessings
May 19th, 2007 at 11:28 amYou are absolutely right, Sharon.
2008 is not going to a ‘cakewalk’ for the Democrats UNLESS they get their act together.
You know what scares me : Turdblossom. This is one evil F**K.
He’s Goebbels reincarnated.
Turdblossom is capable of anything. And throw Darth Cheney into it and you have another PNAC, another 9/11 and then Martial Law.

Without impeachment and making the neocons pay for their crimes, the same crooks will be back in the white 8-12 years after 2008, doing the same sh*t all over again.
That will just be a repeat of history.
But as long as the sheeple of Amerika can get their mocha-latte at Starbucks, they won’t notice anything wrong with that. /snark
May 19th, 2007 at 11:43 amI just hope ThinkProgress.org still exists the day after Election Day in 2008.
Will free thought be suppressed? Will we have a different internet? Will everything be filtered?
Oh,God. Sometimes I feel like I am looking into an abyss.
Feeling hopeless.
Then other days, I am ready to join hands with every Angry American that desire another American Revolution.
May 19th, 2007 at 11:44 amThank’s for the notice Kay,…I’m not afraid, fear based thought diminishes the pure result….Fear is what has gotten us to this place along with lazy voter’s and evil secret behavior..My hope is every one will demand through email’s, fax’s phone call’s and marches to end this madness…Unless we bury our representatives with notice along with the republican one’s and demand they do what they were voted in office to do they will continue….They along with the repub’s have been on the tit to long and are covering their own asses instead of doing their job….I’m to mad at this entire sickness they are feeding to be fearful, I will continue to fight with love….Nothing can beat love, for family, country, people and the world..Nothing….Blessings all, do something for our country today….Then post what your doing, let’s start some poll’s and responses….Ban together to save our country and the world from these evil nazis in our government..Stop the war’s, Impeachiness.Thank’s BnF
May 19th, 2007 at 11:49 amMoer than 230 years ago Americans has to fight King George with an armed rebellion. Looks like history could repeat itself. Only this time the American people don’t seem to have the guts to do what’s right.
May 19th, 2007 at 11:53 am#25 Coalition, it’s not just lack of gut’s it’s self imposed lazy behavior and pure ignorance, much due to lack of truthful reporting by the press..
I have a little story to repeat..When I was 18, a life time ago, I worked for Knott’s Berry farm…The first good Republican’s I ever met were Walter and Mrs. Knott…They were up in year’s and worked at the chicken dinner restraunt every day…Way back then they had benefit’s bonuses a library for their employese and were wonderful people to work for…..Although I was already a staunch Democrat I respected and liked them….Nixon was running for office and I served him a boxed chicken lunch along with many other’s just before his speeches began..The Knott’s had the fund raiser for him..Way back then I noted the shifty eyes and was not impressed…..The one’s we have in office now are strain’s of the same disease but have mutated way beyond what Nixon was capable of…..Indeed untill we wake the public and the representatives up this disease will go untreated and spread like a horrible staph infection……Get busy, talk to people, point out what’s going on and get ready with the pitch fork’s and shovels, we have a lot of shit to scoop out of our barn….Blessings

GALLUP: In Shocking Plunge, Only 1 in 4 Now Satisfied With State of USA
Published: May 16, 2007 1:25 PM ET
NEW YORK What’s going on? Gallup reports today a sudden plunge in its regular “satisfaction” index. Only 25% of Americans now say they satisfied with the state of their country — down 8% in just one month — and one of the lowest ever measured.
“The current 25% satisfaction level is very low by historical standards,” Gallup explained. “Since Gallup first asked this question in 1979, the average percentage of Americans saying they are satisfied with conditions in the country is 43%.”

May 19th, 2007 at 12:27 pmGood Morning RUCerious, so good to read your post’s and know you are doing well…
Unbelievable and Kay, great post time line’s, Yep! I agree it (seem’s) there are not enough of us but in reality there is…More and more service men I meet every day are coming out and are standing with the hundred’s of thousand’s of us, do not buy into ” there are not enough of us” or the big one “not enough vote’s” these are lies and this long hot summer will prove me out…You’ll see, and for those of us that can’t travel long distances send fund’s to support those that can and march, picket and be active localy….Make it happen and move away from negative thought, it is fear based and sold to us, don’t buy it…..Blessings
May 19th, 2007 at 12:31 pmSharon,
You know I’m not a believer :)
I was gaging ‘not enough of us’ from experience. I imagine your experiences are better than mine since you live in one of the more liberal states in the country, and I live in the freaking Bible Belt.
Glad to hear there are more and more soldiers on our side. When they join us, the White House loses it’s power, since might and force are all they know.
Since the opposite reaction to force is resistence, the laws of physics dictate that the resistence should be HUGE by now… I’d just like to see it.
May 19th, 2007 at 12:36 pmThe Bush Administration has learned the lessons of Nixon & Watergate:
We must not allow this lawlessness to continue. If we fail to bring this administration to justice, our country is dead and buried.
May 19th, 2007 at 12:41 pmYep! Unbelievable, I met the shifty eyed, odd ball before he was a felon…That ofcourse that was back in the day when I was speeding all over southern Calif in my 56 TBird and kicking all the corvette driver’s butt’s off the stop line’s.. We had 16 cent a gallong gas, dressed to the 9’s, 4 inch spike high heel’s died to match every out fit and rock and roll was played loudly…LOL.,Way back then you could actuely see the white sandy beaches…Year’s later I went back for a viset and there were so many people it was hard to see the sand..Another note for the third time since that erra, the spiked heels and pointed toed shoes are back, saw a pair on Friday…History does indeed repeat it’s self, the good and the bad but we have the power to change and more away from the bad if we do the right thing and impeach jail and attach asset’s….Blessings
May 19th, 2007 at 12:52 pmImpeach already! Come on Democrats. Grow some tangly ones and move forward with impeachment.
May 19th, 2007 at 12:55 pmGood Morning Lady Z, a blessed day to you and all….Cold and grey here this morning and my puter and I are very slow to respond….Something I can remedy with another cup of coffee and shutting mr.iMac down if it doesn’t behave……Blessings
May 19th, 2007 at 12:59 pmSharon,

I was but a wee babe when Tricky Dick spoke the above words, but I remember them well. I was certain our country was coming to an end, but I was wrong. We’re closer than we’ve ever been NOW.

From the article:
The disconcerting part is the fact that 25% feel satisfied with the current state of affairs, yet 25% of the country is not the uberrich who are benefiting from Bush’s policies. Most of the 25% are simply living in a delusion.

Our country is looking more and more like Hitler’s Germany every day.
There are similarities and there are very important distinctions. What is quite similar is the analogy between the burning of the Parliament in Berlin and 9/11 and the subsequent loss of civil rights. However, the Berlin Parliament was burned down by the Nazis in order to manufacture a reason for disbanding the parliamentary rule (and there is some doubt among scholars if it wasn’t just an opportunity given to them). There are theories who hint at such a background for 9/11, but I don’t believe in those theories. Albeit the attacks were used for the neo-con political agenda, and while I think they weren’t staged, I am inclined to believe the attacks were wilfully not impeded. Some people waited for such a thing to happen and did nothing to stop it.
In Germany of 1933 civil rights were disbanded altogether the very next day and it took only four more years to establish an absolute rule of power by the Nazis, with the majority of the Germans in favour of their rule.
And there is where the big difference lies. There are only 27 % of Americans behind this president. There is a remaining parliamentary structure and you all have proven beyond any doubt, that you are not endorsing your current administration by voting as you did last year.
There still are blogs like TP, unthinkable in a Germany of, let’s say 1935, even life threatening. You are still able to have your say and there are committees looking into the wrongdoings of administration officials. Your Democracy is alive, ours wasn’t. We never really tried to protect ourselves from dictatorship, let alone others from the brutal consequences. Individuals, whom I admire more than any “decider” and “leader” in this world, resisted and tried to change things. They almost collectively paid the ultimate price for that.
No, your country is right now not resembling Nazi Germany, but it will be your responsibility to keep it from going there. It won’t be for a lack of trying by some politicians.
May 19th, 2007 at 1:40 pm26…due to lack of truthful reporting by the press. You hit that one right on the head. If the Democrats where smart they would go after the press for not doing their jobs and allowing a biligerente foriegn policy to go unimpeded. If the Democrats had the forthought and the will to truly lead, they could, and should start voicing (screaming) the press role in this mess we are in now.

May 19th, 2007 at 2:02 pmIf the President can pardon any crime, then the logic dictates that if the President says it’s ok, it’s ok.
Anything else is just splitting hairs.
May 19th, 2007 at 2:36 pm#42: Clinton got caught in a lie. Too bad he didn’t have any guts to declare that anything the President says cannot be challenged by law. That’s what got him into trouble. Not the blow job. Not the lie. Just the simple fact that he didn’t say that getting a blow job and lying about it is legal.

You just keep thinking, babes.
May 19th, 2007 at 5:13 pmAre they talking about President Bush here? You be the judge.
Found this on Wikipedia under Big Lie:
Used in Hitler’s psychological profile
The phrase was also used in a report prepared during the war by the United States Office of Strategic Services in describing Hitler’s psychological profile:[2]
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.[3]
May 20th, 2007 at 12:08 pmWEll, when Bush does it , anything,, its always ILLEGAL… I don’t think he knows the meaning of the word LEGAL… Humm, how does that work? Must be some kind of yingyang type of thing…..
May 20th, 2007 at 7:08 pmSharon, thanks for the interesting story.
May 21st, 2007 at 2:59 amThis may very well be my last post here, as I am tired of having some of them disappear for no good reason (as my rebuttal to VileVenus did at least 11 times on the “Falwell is Dead” thread). However, I would like to share another Nixon-related story.
In Tokyo, I became friends with Miss S, who, though blond and attractive with a good personality, had the worst luck with men. One time she told me that when she was a toddler in a Rocky Mountain state, her GOP mother and other Repulbican ladies went to meet then VP Nixon at the local airport. Nixon apparently gravitated to S’s attractive mother and kissed the babe (little S) in her arms. In other words, the first man, other than a relative to kiss S, was Nixon. I recall telling “No wonder you’ve been cursed with men! Maybe you’d better get kissed by someone on the other side like Castro or Gorbachev to break the spell.”
Worst. President. Ever.
May 21st, 2007 at 1:03 pmAh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, are you hypocrites even going to mention Bill “Executive Privilege†Clinton! Worst President Ever!
ROTFL
Hey spouted that line more times than any president thinking he could get away with anything. You people think President Bush’s wire tapping was bad but this guy had personal files sitting on coffee tables.
ROTFL.
And you #1 want to make a joke relating it to sex? If a Republican stuck a cigar into an underlings vagina at work you would call it sexual harassments, perversion and abuse of power. You would call for impeachment and jail. But when Billy does it you say it is his personal life.

May 21st, 2007 at 9:46 pmWAY TO GO, SHARON… HUMBLY,I DO NOT AGREE CMPLETELY, THOUGH…WE WILL BE HANDING PUGS AND NEOCONS’ THE KEYS TO CITY’ ONCE AGAIN. THEY DISCOUNT OUR ABILITY TO STAY FOCUSED AND FOCUS IS WHAT WE NEED, MUST HAVE. I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL, I FELT THE SAME WAY BUT WHAT I FOUND WAS THAT THE DEMS, WHILE NOT PERFECT, ARE A WHOLE LOT BETTER. PLEASE, LETS CONTINUE TO LET OUR SENATORS AND REPS. KNOW HOW WE FEEL…WE CAN CONTINUE TO ENLIGHTEN AS WE TAKE MAJORITY CONTROL OF THE SENATE, HOUSE AND WHITE HOUSE IN ‘08. WE CANNOT ASSUME 1 VOTE! WE WILL HAVE TO REGAIN, THROUGH CONTINUED INVOLVMENT AND DIALOUGE, THE TRUST OF OUR NIEGHBORS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. TO ME, IT WILL AMOUNT TO 1 PERSON SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO THE HEART OF ANOTHER PERSON…1 PERSON AT A TIME, 1 PERSON AT A TIME, ONE PERSON AT A TIME UNTIL WE ACHIEVE WHAT IS RIGHT. I FEEL YOUR PAIN
