The Silence of Congress and the Thriving of Evil

Congress has forgotten the repudiation of Richard Nixon after he stated "if the President does it, it's not illegal" by its failure to hold President Bush to the law that he has broken by directing illegal wiretaps be implemented. Have we forgotten Edmund Burke's warning that "when righteous men remain silent in the face of evil that evil triumphs." We sent our Congress to uphold the law. It is time for them to end the silence and uphold the law by executing a censure of President Bush.
