The FISA Cavein Is Congress’ Shame
Sort by Firedoglake (Free subscription) - 07/09/2008
For nearly six years, the Bush Administration and the nation’s communication companies – your telephone companies -- have been illegally spying on Americans’ phone calls and e-mails. They did this in direct violation of the Constitution’s 4th Amendment and a federal statute – FISA. Both laws emphatically forbid such surveillance unless the government first obtains a warrant from an independent (eg,...

Worse Than Useless

How useless and dysfunctional does a political entity have to be in order to have a 9% approval rating ? This useless and dysfunctional . More here . And here: And hopefully, the fact that Obama voted for this bill dispels any false notions about his ability to transcend traditional politics. He may be the best empty suit running this year, but he’s still an empty suit.

How are you feeling this morning? I’m not feeing great. I am a little unhappy about the news. You might not have noticed, as this was only the third most important story yesterday. Based on television news coverage, the most important political story yesterday was Rev. Jesse Jackson caught making crude remarks about Obama [...]

The Left's FISA Orwellianism

As I noted yesterday , there's been an intense reaction by anti-administration extremists to the new FISA bill in Congress, which gained final Senate approval today . Here's some of today's outrage : First, there's " The FISA Capitulation Vote, Barack Obama, and These Orwellian Times ," from Tennessee Guerilla Women: Barack Obama promises that his vote to shred the Bill of Rights is not about politics...

Senate Democrats FAIL
Sort by Blacknell.net (Free subscription) - 07/09/2008
I’m going to have to wait a couple of days to write about what epic failures some congressional Democrats have managed to become. Greenwald notes: when the Congress was controlled by the GOP — when the Senate was run by Bill Frist and the House by Denny Hastert — the Bush administration attempted to have a [...]

Bye Bye Life Bye Bye Happiness Hello Lonliness ... I think I am going to die I think I am going to die ... That is the tune the 4th Amendment will be singing later today, as the 110th Congress - the Senate, in particular - completes their cowardly cave-in to the Court-Appointed President ( H/T Barry Crimmins ) , when they vote for the latest FISA Bill, which expands the Bush Grindhouse's powers to...

Want to know how to lose an election? Pretend your base will vote for you no matter what. The problem is not that the disaffected will vote for the opposition — they just won’t vote at all because, in the end, what difference does it really make? *sigh* Today’s cover-up of surveillance crimes [...]

Glenn Greenwald Congress votes to immunize lawbreaking telecoms, legalize warrantless eavesdropping The Democratic-led Congress this afternoon voted to put an end to the NSA spying scandal, as the Senate approved a bill -- approved last week by the House -- to immunize lawbreaking telecoms, terminate all pending lawsuits against them, and vest whole new warrantless eavesdropping powers in the President....

So the basic fact is: the Government, somewhere in the executive branch, possibly even the Big Shrub, committed a felony by wiretapping Americans. Today, the legislative branch, led by the opposition party, covered it up. 99% of the media would rather not cover it, since it could someday be their corporate interests who [...]
