The Congress is at the threshold of a major capitulation on FISA. There's no doubt that there are a lot of political (read: electoral) implications to this vote. We all know that. We've been through this fear mongering routine before, where the public is rattled by vague pronouncements about unspecified threats (or about whatever's going on in Michael Chertoff's "gut," as the case may be), and where Members of Congress are cowed by the prospect of Republican attack ads claiming they're "weak on terror."

And of course, at this point it should go without saying that if a bill is placed before you that addresses additional powers and authority for the Attorney General, of all people, this is a full stop moment.

The vote on this bill is no. The vote on any bill expanding the powers of this Attorney General is no.

1. This is the same attorney general who sat there and lied his ass off

and the same people he lied to are now going to turn around and give him even more power to fuck up everything he touches. Do these invertebrate Dems realize who it is that comes off looking like gullible stupid assholes in this whole sorry mess?

I'll be a democrat the rest of my life but these fuckin cowards have got to go. With only a few exceptions thay have proven themselves to be worse than worthless. Do they not realize that bush, gonzales and the dick are (not to mention the American people) are sitting there ridiculing them for being a bunch of wusses? Will they ever grow a spine? Sadly the answer to that is no.

The dems are gonna get blamed for the next terra attack anyfuckingway. Why not just stand up for what they believe in (if in fact they believe in anything)?
