Rep. Henry Hyde gave a speech, about the abuse of power by the President, that included the following:

"No greater harm can be done than breaking the covenant of trust between the President and the people; between the three branches of our government; and between the country and the world. For to break that covenant of trust is to dissolve the mortar that binds the foundation stones of our freedom into a secure and solid edifice. And to break that covenant of trust by violating one's oath is to do grave damage to the rule of law among us. That none of us is above the law is a bedrock principle of democracy. To erode that bedrock is to risk even further injustice. To erode that bedrock is to subscribe, to a "divine right of kings" theory of governance, in which those who govern are absolved from adhering to the basic moral standards to which the governed are accountable. We must never tolerate one law for the Ruler, and another for the Ruled. If we do, we break faith with our ancestors from Bunker Hill, Lexington and Concord to Flanders Field, Normandy, Iwo Jima, Panmunjon, Saigon and Desert Storm."

Strong words about Bush's gross abuse of power regarding spying on Americans, as recently disclosed in the press?

Nope. This was about Clinton lying about a blow job. My, have times changed...
