Deep Government

A quick glimpse behind the curtain at what is really going on:



Also, the Senate just passed the FISA bill sans the Dodd/Feingold amendment which would have prevented retroactive immunity to the telecom companies.

Wait while I choke back the bile.

The police state has just been authorized.

What happens when the legislative branch legislates against the constitution? All we have left is the judicial branch and I think we know how tenous that is. We are one appeals court ruling away from a fully vetted and approved surveillance state.

McCain voted against the amendment, no surprise there. Clinton abstained, which in my mind is the same as voting against it. Obama voted for it. One policy difference that makes a difference. My vote is for Obama, slender hope that it is.

In the end, however, all is well.
