Thank you, Jonathan Turley

The pending vote on FISA is not a compromise. It's a cave-in. Get your terminology straight, cavers!

1. Saw that and did it make your stomach queasy as it did mine. I cannot understand
Edited on Tue Jul-08-08 07:30 PM by EV_Ares
still why, why are they caving. At least couldn't they have put it back and away until after the election.

Why would the dems do this?

2. Political convenience, as Turley said
At this point, I'm not sure it even makes any difference whether the Dems are just spineless or complicit. The end result is the same: show me your papers.

4. It's simple. They either know something we don't, like
Nibiru really is coming, or they are being blackmailed with the information the illegal warrantless wire tapping gathered or they are afraid of getting dusted, or they have a secret agenda to transform this nation into a one-party fascist state.

Oh, or maybe it's part of the birth of the North American Union.

6. Yes
he summed it up perfectly. It makes me sad and angry at the same time to see what is happening.
