FISA capitulation in the House
By a ridiculous margin of 293-129 (which still means a majority of House Democrats voted against it, but not by as much as one might hope), the House passed Steny Hoyer's "compromise" (read: caving in to Smirky and the rest of the Republican scum) FISA bill, which allows for the telecom companies to skate for their part in stripping your 4th Amendment rights from you. Whenever the President, or any of his Executive Branch minions, (such as the FBI, CIA, NSA, etc.) decides to invade your privacy without probable cause or a warrant, he will now have the authority to do so granted by Congress, if the Senate concurs. The fact that that august body had already passed a bill even more craven pretty much seals this deal.
Gee, do you think the Republicans would have ever passed any bills whatsoever that its majority disagreed with when they were in control? Newsflash: they wouldn't, they didn't.
Congratulations to the President, as we prepare to give in to his demands to destroy the country yet again.
If you're not pissed, you're not paying attention. That clicking sound you hear is simply the government tapping your phone line; don't pay it any mind.
"Save me [Senate], you're my only hope!"
Right--this is me holding my breath . . .
Unf&*^ing believable. Land of the Free, my ass.
