Secret Court Ok's Wiretapping Powers

I fail to see how Torone and I disagreed, guess he just wanted to get that one Commie jab in there.

I agree with wig, the Democrats fighting 'pro business' provisions in this bill are just as scummy as the Republicans who support this IAO for whatever misguided reason. The fact that it would have passed without trouble if the Repubs hadn't tried to bait the Dems and make them look 'anti-American' by opposing these pro business provisions says a lot about where the battles are being fought in Congress.

I have never understood how Senators and Congressmen can look their public in the eye when they tack on partial-birth abortion bans onto farm aid bills and the like, and legitimately believe that it is 'law making'. This 40,000 vote mandate has already become more of a dangerous issue than I think most people had imagined. Lott himself said they didn't want to overreach their public support, oops! So much for that idea.
