Bush is both stupid and dangerous which is a lethal combination.

He doesn't realize or doesn't care what he is doing to our freedoms. The idea that he had the CIA go to communications and media giants and demand access to calls and emails which were then handed over without argument is frightening.

This basically turns the media and the communications corporations into nothing more than extensions of the American intelligence community. They are now their eyes and ears. I am shocked none of the corporations resisted the CIA's demand. Couldn't one of them have said, "Sorry, you're asking for privileged information about our customers who expect and deserve their right to privacy. Get a warrant."

Congressional republicans must be wringing their hands. They don't want to impeach one of their own but if Bush doesn't knock off with his law-breaking and bullying, they will have to reign him in. Bush has already indicated that he will not stop. He complained that outing his law-breaking has ruined the nation's intelligence-gathering and then turns around and says he will continue with it. What for if it has been ruined? Because it hasn't been ruined, he was just trying to protect himself from being outed for breaking the law.

And the administration continues to do it as if nobody else matters. This can only go on so long before something has to be done.
