Unclaimed Territory - by Glenn Greenwald: The NSA fight begins - strategies for moving forward

This is the talking points for every American who is convinced that this president is a danger to the Constitution. From the NSA hearings by Sen. Spector with AG Gonzales as witness there is a forming general impression of this merely being a "legal distinctions" fight between liberals and conservatives. This erroneous view is being fanned by the administration and its supporters.

However, Glenn Greenwald shows, point by point, that this is not merely wrong but a dangerous view to hold by anyone. He writes about what this is about and why it is dangerous for any one to have this much power without the founding fathers wisdom in coming to the view that good governance begins with a "seperation of powers" in order to have "checks and balances" so that no single person can become a tyrant.

Glenn writes an outline for a position that the concerned citizens and politicians can use to fight this undemocratic attack on Americans and sedition against the Constitution by Mr. Bush and his backers.

Go read it and then get some face time with your representatives.

This is the time to stop a president from becoming king.
