More dramatic tales from this morning's Comey testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Here we learn from Comey of Alberto Gonzales' and Andrew Card's nighttime rush to John Ashcroft's bedside at the Intensive Care Unit to find someone to sign off on what appears to have been their illegal warrantless wiretap program. Comey, who was then acting AG, refused. So there was a rush to get to the hospital before Gonzales and Card to prevent them from coaxing the semi-conscious Ashcroft from signing on the dotted line. High drama, threatened resignations and incapacitated cabinet secretaries are all in the mix as Gonzales tries to overturn the rule of law. You'll want to see this.
