Purely Domestic Warrantless Surveillance?
patriotism n: impeaching the President for lying about receiving an extra-marital hummer [syn: rule of law, checks and balances]
partisanship n: opposing the President for long-term, widespread abuse of power [syn: politics of personal destruction, treason, aid and comfort to the enemy]
In it’s Friday edition, the New York Times reports that Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, when asked about the potential for warrantless surveillance of purely domestic communications between Americans, said this: “I’m not going to rule it out.”
Meanwhile, in news from the other side of Capitol Hill: “The democrats,” said Senator Tom Harkin, “don’t have the guts to stand up to censure a president who misled us, who lied to the American people, who broke the law and violated the Constitution of the United States in spying on the American people.”
Truly, in my devoutly agnostic “prayers” for someone to descend from the heavens and shit down the throats of these people, I don’t know whether to suggest priority for the GOPresident on Pennsylvania Avenue or the Senators-Without-Testicles over on Capitol Hill.
