Conyers: Bush Violated 26 Laws

Bumped with update

Justin Rood at TPM Muckraker quotes from an unreleased report from the House Judiciary Committee Democrats. In this update to the Dems' December 2005 report, "A Constitution in Crisis," Conyers says, "The misconduct I have found is not only serious, but widespread":
The laws implicated by the Administration’s actions include federal laws against making false statements to congress [sic]; federal laws and international treaties prohibiting torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment; federal laws concerning retaliating against witnesses and other government employees; Executive Orders concerning leaking and other misuse of intelligence; federal regulations and ethical requirements governing conflicts of interest; the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act; communications privacy laws; the National Security Act; and the Fourth Amendment.
Rood notes that Conyers is not in a rush to impeach, just "a slow walk."
