Al Gore rises from the ashes and finally gives voice to the Democrats anger at the corruption of this President.

Former Vice President Al Gore called on Congress and the public to resist what he called "a gross and excessive power grab" by the Bush administration amid the war on terrorism, declaring that "our Constitution is at risk."

Gore said the use of the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on Americans without a court order shows that President Bush "has been breaking the law repeatedly and persistently."

"A president who breaks the law is a threat to the very structure of our government," he said.

Gore said the wiretaps -- combined with Bush's assertion of the power to hold American citizens indefinitely as "enemy combatants," the authorization of harsh treatment of prisoners and his use of signing statements to declare how he will interpret a law passed by Congress -- have "brought our republic to the brink of a dangerous breach in the fabric of the Constitution."

"The disrespect embodied in these apparent mass violations of the law is part of a larger pattern of seeming indifference to the Constitution that is deeply troubling to millions of Americans in both political parties," he said.

I give Al much credit for coming forward and telling people the truth behind these unwarranted illegal power grabs by this president. If the Democrats can just get organized, they have all the ethical ground they need to attack the Republicans for brazenly breaking the law and causing such grave harm to this country.

Update: The Right wing is going after Gore with both barrels. Go here to see more. Well I say good! Let's finally fight this fucker out!
