A federal judge has resigned from the court that oversees government surveillance in intelligence cases in protest of President Bush's secret authorization of a domestic spying program, according to two sources.

It seems that Robertson is not going to denounce Bush publicly. Clearly even if he keeps his outrage in, his act shows how appalling the Bush administrations actions are. The article also includes a wonderful struggle between Scott McClellan and the English language which I would like to make even more obvious by a little further editing (oops my mistake it is absolutely perfect as it is)

At the White House, spokesman Scott McClellan was asked to explain why Bush last year said, "Any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires -- a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so." McClellan said the quote referred only to the USA Patriot Act.

Obviously McClellan doesn't mind telling obvious lies. I think he still hopes that they will remain in the briefing room, that is, the text of the question which makes it obvious that his answer is a lie will be edited out so the lying answer becomes a sound bite liberated from specific meaning and therefore falsehood by editors who are determined not to let viewers and readers see how totally absolutely shamelessly dishonest the Bush administration is.
