Senate Dems Roll Over for Bush

Posted on July 10th, 2008 by ecthompson

I have talked about the FISA legislation ad naseum. When people say that we need a third party that truly represents the people, this is what they mean. The Democrats have just gave President Bush everything that he could have possibly wished for. Progressives and the Fourth Amendment lost. Americans lost, but the telecoms won.

Glenn Greenwald has a long and thoughtful discussion on Congress and what the ACLU is planning.

    I don't think that this is about Al Qaeda or terrorism, I think that is just the selling point, I think that this is about spying on businesses. I think that this is about businesses who support the Bush administration having a leg up on their competition.

    I may be wrong but then again, I may be right.

    I think that you may be right. Even if you are not it was funny and thoughtful.

    Thanks for the comment.

    Perhaps the bush administration is tapping the phones of the senators and congress. I am sure they have enough dirt on them to roll over...its the only explanation I buy...

    so much for looking for real terrorists...

    ps...would any proported "real" terrorist still use a phone knowing that it would / could even potentially be tapped?

    can you hear me now, bush!
