Hagel: No president above the law

Republican senator Chuck Hagel joined other prominent republicans, asking for hearings and an investigation on the spying by the Bush administration. Chuck Hagel made clear that no president is above the law. “We are a nation of laws. You cannot avoid or dismiss a law”, Hagel also said.

Asked about Vice President Dick Cheney’s warning that Bush’s critics could pay a heavy political price, Hagel said: “My oath is to the Constitution, not to a vice president, a president or a political party.”

As I have said before, Hagel is one republican senator who is honest and has principles. He is an honorable man who tells the truth as he sees it.
