Let Suemageddon begin!
Peter Swire and Judd Legum at ThinkProgress have an important observation on the recent revelation that the telecom companies have been helping Bush commit millions of impeachable offenses*:
"The penalty for violating the Stored Communications Act is $1000 per individual violation."
(Actually it turns out to be a $1000 minimum.)
Hey guys- free money!
It reminds me of those movies in which someone foils the bad guys by tossing a fistful of money in the air, so that all the bystanders immediately glom together into an impassable crowd. Surely, surely there are some ambulance chasers out there who are willing to bring a series of class-action lawsuits that could drive these fascist toadies to bankruptcy.
* You know, I've seen a graph of Bush's approval rating over time, and a graph of fluctuating gasoline prices, but isn't it time for a graph of impeachable offenses? We could have two versions: one for impeachable offenses per month, and another for his cumulative total over time.)
