Senate Democrats Cave - Agree To Give Bush More Power To Spy On Americans Than Ever Before
By: Logan Murphy @ 9:00 AM - PDT

Via The Washington Post :

The Senate bowed to

White House pressure last night and passed a Republican plan for overhauling the federal government’s terrorist surveillance laws, approving changes that would temporarily give U.S. spy agencies expanded power to eavesdrop on foreign suspects without a court order.
The 60 to 28 vote, which was quickly denounced by civil rights and privacy advocates, came after Democrats in the House failed to win support for more modest changes that would have required closer court supervision of government surveillance. Earlier in the day, President Bush threatened to hold Congress in session into its scheduled summer recess if it did not approve the changes he wanted.
The legislation, which is expected to go before the House today, would expand the government’s authority to intercept without a court order the phone calls and e-mails of people in the United States who are communicating with people overseas. Read more…

Contact your representatives in The House and let them know that America does not wish to give the president unfettered powers to spy on us. As always, be polite…

Its time to break out the Spineless Chickens from Krogers again...

Screw your vacation!

What a boat load of crap. These senators should be given the bum's rush and be replaced by REAL Democrats.

Lieberman can blow me.

So much for the promise of change and a new sense of accountability the Dems were going to bring to Washington.
