Balance of Power

1. Congress creates a law.
2. President secretly breaks the law.
3. Press reveals the illegal activity.

What happens next? You guessed it:

4. Congress changes the law to suit the President.

How about that for the checks and balances the Founding Fathers built in to our little democracy? Senator Roberts (R-Kan.) had this little gem of wisdom to say:

"Whether or not an investigation is the right thing to do at this particular time, I am not sure."

So, Bush breaks the law (or, as the American Bar Association puts it, he "does not have legal authority to ignore the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act"), and Senator Roberts "is not sure" whether there should even be an investigation.
