Hey, but when they impeached Bill Clinton...

...it wasn't because of the sex, or that they just didn't like him. It was because of the lie. Right? Yesterday, John from AmericaBlog jotted down a few things to keep in mind about today's illegal spying senate hearing.

1. Attorney General Gonzales, who will be testifying tomorrow, lied under oath to the US Senate last year about the Bush administration's spying-on-Americans program. Why did he perjure himself then, and why should we trust his testimony now?

2 Can Gonzales and the Bush administration guarantee that their eavesdropping never intentionally or unintentionally captured communications of American political opponents or US journalists?

3. If the Bush administration is so confident that it has the power under the constitution to continue spying on Americans, then will it let the FISA court review its domestic spying program in order to determine if the domestic spying is illegal or unconstitutional?

They're all things I can pretty much guarantee you our Democrat elected leaders won't be asking, because they're still playing the game where you can ever believe anything a Bush appointee says ever.

But hey, just so you know what they could be asking about...
