Bush Signs Warrentless Wiretaps Into LawThe NYTimes has given us some explanation on how this new law will look. The
President signed it into law. The
President supports this bill; the
President got what he was looking for. What is absent? The
Democratic support for this bill!!! The Democratic majoriy must have had SOME part to play to bring this to the President's desk in the first place!!! Am I right, or what?
I thought the 2006 election gave the Democratic party a mandate to clean up Bush's foibles. What caused them to slide this legislative baby through without all the rancor they heaped on the President's previous support for the NSA? I'm at a loss.
Please, let me know, is this somehow different than what the Dems had a miscarriage over a year or so ago? Or are the Dems finally seeing a new mandate? If so, I think there needs to be some mopping up from the previous brew-ha-ha that we had to endure last year.
By the way, I said I would drop this political stuff and give it a rest. I'm sorry, but I haven't done that. My bad!!
