(Community Matters) by the way, it sucks. Let’s hope we can count on the Senate (not holding my breath) to stand up to the telecom lobbyists. Why has the D party completely caved?
Glenn Greenwald:
This scandal began by revelations that the President broke the law — committed felonies — when spying on our calls and emails without warrants, because he believes he has the power to break the law. The scandal all but concluded yesterday, with the Democratic Congress (a) protecting the President, (b) permanently blocking the lawsuits which would have revealed what he did and would have ruled that he broke the law, and (c) legalizing the very illegal spying regime that he secretly ordered in 2001. Only in the twisted world of Washington can that be described as a “compromise.”
