Expect Congress to return to Washington to begin proceedings to reign in two Unitary Executives damaging our Constitution
Read John Nichols on the wiretapping bill and the exchange between Russ Feingold and Joe Lieberman, and see the difference between a true patriot and a lapdog stooge.
Yes, "The day we start deferring to someone who's not a member of this body ... is a sad day for the US Senate.....We make the policy--not the executive branch."", Russ Feingold

For this and more quotes of a real patriot, on the subject of wiretapping without FISA controls, read John Nichols article on the travesty of the latest wiretapping bill:

And Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren of the House:
"This bill would grant the attorney general the ability to wiretap anybody, any place, any time without court review, without any checks and balances," said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., during the debate preceding the vote. "I think this unwarranted, unprecedented measure would simply eviscerate the 4th Amendment," which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures.
"House approves foreign wiretap bill"
