admitting that bush broke the law

Bush may be breaking law claims GOP member

Ok, for a Republican Member of Congress to realize that Bush is breaking the law, the Administration has to be doing something especially egregrious. Because, everyone knows the GOPers on the Hill are just Bush's lapdogs:

In a sharply worded letter to President Bush in May, an important Congressional ally charged that the administration might have violated the law by failing to inform Congress of some secret intelligence programs and risked losing Republican support on national security matters.

So, what the hell else has Bush been doing?:

"I have learned of some alleged intelligence community activities about which our committee has not been briefed," Mr. Hoesktra wrote. "If these allegations are true, they may represent a breach of responsibility by the administration, a violation of the law, and, just as importantly, a direct affront to me and the members of this committee who have so ardently supported efforts to collect information on our enemies."

He added: "The U.S. Congress simply should not have to play Twenty Questions to get the information that it deserves under our Constitution."

Even when Congress does play Twenty Questions, they don't get any answers. They're useless.
