"NEW YORK New York Senator Hillary Clinton has harsh criticism for the White House, calling the Bush administration "one of the worst" in U-S history.

Speaking at a Martin Luther King Day event in New York, compared the Republican-controlled House to a plantation where dissenting voices are squelched.
Clinton told a Harlem church audience that the current leadership has been marred by corruption, cronyism and incompetence. She also offered an apology to a group of Hurricane Katrina survivors."

"WASHINGTON - A key Republican senator says he's dubious about the White House's need to bypass domestic spying laws and would seek impeachment if the administration broke the law.

The White House has defended the National Security Agency's domestic eavesdropping program since it was revealed last month, citing President Bush's "inherent" constitutional powers and Congress' authorization to use force against Iraq.

The spying bypasses the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which lets authorities wiretap Americans if they get a warrant from a secret court. The Bush administration says it's not practical to get warrants in modern terrorist cases.

But Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is holding hearings on the surveillance program next month, said Sunday he's skeptical there's a good argument to change the law to allow warrantless eavesdropping.

"I'm prepared to listen, but I'd be very dubious," Specter said on ABC's "This Week."

Specter also said that although the question of impeachment had not yet arisen for him, he would pursue it if he believes Bush broke the law.
