Spy vs Us ( US )

The President, Vice President and every member of Congress was required by the Constitution to take an "Oath of Office" which binds them to uphold and defend the Constitution. Should any elected official be permitted to place themselves above the law, to throw away that oath and proceed to trash the very Constitution they sore to uphold?

It has been reveled that the White House has been illegally snooping on American Citizens in numerous ways. They have enlisted major telecommunications carriers to help divert YOUR private conversations and internet use to the NSA without obtaining a warrant. This is specifically prohibited by law. Now Bush is trying to twist Congress's arm into granting immunity, not only to himself, but to the telecommunications giants for their part in this illegal and criminal activity.

If Bush succeeds in obtaining immunity, then there is nothing left to prevent him from totally ignoring the very constitution he took an oath to uphold.

Should any president be permitted to ignore the very laws he swore to uphold when taking office. Should Congress be able to ignore their own oath of office?
