Senate Democrats rolled over like the dogs that they are and sided with the Grand Old Party of Constitutional Destruction to pass a surveillance bill that does not have the amendment that some Democrats that still have testicles wanted, namely a provision that would allow the telecom companies that aid the Bush administration in their illegal Spy Games to be sued. As it stands now, thanks to some spineless Senate Donkeys who crossed the aisle to vote with our Republican overlords, telecom companies are immune from such lawsuits, and will continue to be.
Last time I checked, it was unconstitutional for the United States government to spy on its own citizens within our borders. But in an effort to look strong on defense in an election year, the Democrats sided with the Czar in the White House. Shame on them. The Democrats voting with the Republicans seek power rather than justice. They voted with the Right, rather than for what is right.
And thank you Senators Obama and Clinton for not bothering to show up and vote. Maybe I won't bother to vote for either one of you either.
