One of Minnesota’s senators voted for the hack surveillance bill. I was pissed.
How dare you capitulate to Bush in his demands that the 1978 FISA laws be rewritten to legalize the current administrations illegal unrestricted spying programs. The 4th amendment? Have you ever fucking read the thing?
There you go.
There comes a time when giving in to the demolition of constitutional protections can no longer be considered a matter of being weak or unthinking. Rather it must be considered complicity.Enough AlreadyBy making the crimes of Bush legal at his own behest, under his threats – to refuse your summer recess, and to ‘hold you responsible for whatever terrorist attacks may take place in the future – you’ve done little better than incriminate yourself. I’m pretty sure that at his inauguration he swore to uphold the constitution of the united states of america, and you the same. I don’t see how you can sleep at night, much less how you can sit in the chambers of the senate and pretend to be doing your job.
But hey, maybe it’s a good thing. Who knows how many catastrophic bridge collapses this administration will be able to prevent through their unadvised and unsupervised surveillance programs. Who knows how many structural engineers they’ll be able to send to Azkaban\d\d\d I mean Guantanamo.
The Azkaban reference is a bit much, but I thought it was funny.
