Bush broke the law

We have been hearing that a lot lately. When he authorized the National Security Agency to listen in on our calls and things. He broke the law. Some say he did,others say he didn't, and most of us not only don't care if he did, we would expect nothing less. How do we settle the question, though? Well, we have to go to court. That means someone has to sue and get a judge to take the case and decide it and then we would have some idea if he "broke the law" or not. That sounds pretty clear, but turns out it isn't. Who is going to sue and get the matter in the court? In order to bring a suit you have to have "standing" which means you must be able to show that you have been injured in some way. You can't just say you may have been injured, you need more than that to get a judge to hear a case involving presidential authority. As things stand now, nobody can get beyond the fact that we don't even have evidence that any specific person has been the target of "spying" and the only way to get that evidence is if the object of the suit agrees to provide the classified evidence to someone so they can sue. This leaves the liberal kooks in a bad way. So it has to go to a Republican Congressional Committee to make some sort of decision.
