More on FISA and Impeachment

If you want more information on why the President's recent actions have been illegal, you should read these 2 articles:

1) By former Senator
Gary Hart talking about why FISA was created in the first place and

2) By former Representative
Elizabeth Holtzman writes why an impeachment proceedings should be considered now and it should not be considered simply for political reasons. Holtzman is the person who actually wrote the articles of impeachment for Richard Nixon. It is important to note that she believes impeachment should not be taken lightly. It was a very serious situation and not politically motivated. Most of the democratically controlled congress was opposed to impeachment, because after all Nixon was still their president. I am sure this feeling is true today with both parties as well, but that does not change the fact that this sitting president broke the law, and as soon to be confimed Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito said, no one is above the law.
