We used to care…

When the president broke the law. They even made a movie about it. Heck it even defined David Frost’s career by getting Richard Nixon to admit that he thought he was above the law.

Fast Forward to present day and we find out that the George W Bush White House, committed gross violations of [...]

Tea Party? Ron Johnson’s never heard of it!
