Any member of Congress – whether Democratic, Republican, or Connecticut Weasel – who voted for the Protect America Act of 2007 deserves to be voted out of office. Especially the Democratic ones, who ought to know better. Cowards! Apparently no one learned anything from the last election, so its time for a refresher.
I wonder why we even bother pretending to have a Constitution anymore. Or separation of powers.

May they all stimulate the economy by their search for new jobs.
Jim Webb has thousands of defense contractor in his district. Defense contractors that will all make money selling products and services to the govt that make it easier to spy on it’s own citizens…
This legislation doesn’t surprise me, coming from the man who once said “Stop throwing the Constitution in my face. It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!” George W. Bush’s behavior is a insult to the principles of democracy. I didn’t vote for him in either of the prior elections, and his cronies sure won’t be getting this Republican’s support in the future….
Speaking of which…
Please face the mouse and speak distinctly (article 7, sub paragraph 3, “Regulations/Requirements for Bloggers”).
