2. One More Kick Before This Thread Dies.
I am surprised that there are no responses.

You DU'ers are all smart enough to smell a rat and that is what this new law is.

The Attorney General's title is mentioned 17 times in this new law.

17 Times!

It gives him authority to eavesdrop without a warrant and while it is supposed to be against foreign communications in every instance we are to trust Gonzalez.

The man cannot be trusted.

The President said al Qaeda was going to attack Congress before 9/11 and he would veto any other bill than his proposal above. The President is the new Emperor and Darth Gonzo is his Sith apprentice.
