Attorney General Alberto Gonzales served up some inane, idiotic, and imbecilic logic the other day on why Bush believed Congress “authorized” domestic spying on American citizens.

"This is not a back door approach.......We believe Congress has authorized this kind of surveillance." He confirmed that the administration discussed introducing legislation explicitly permitting such domestic spying but decided against it because it "would be difficult, if not impossible" to pass.

So, let's puzzle this out.
1) Congress authorized this kind of surveillance.
2) The Bushies thought about introducing legislation to Congress that would clearly permit domestic spying.
3) The Bushies then decided not to introduce the legislation because it would never pass in Congress.

Knowing it would never pass muster in Congress, they decided to commit a criminal act and do it anyways. How quaint!
