So the basic fact is: the Government, somewhere in the executive branch, possibly even the Big Shrub, committed a felony by wiretapping Americans. Today, the legislative branch, led by the opposition party, covered it up. 99% of the media would rather not cover it, since it could someday be their corporate interests who will need the same thing. The same percentage of the citizenry seems not to care.

And for those of you who are saying that things will be different once Obama is in charge – that he\’s an agent for Change… he voted for this too. After as recently as October, when he said that he would always oppose it. Sounds a lot like business as usual to me. Maybe Barack thinks this kind of precedent could be useful to him as President. It\’s now a fair question to ask.
It\’s a sad day for \’Merica. I assure you that Patrick Henry is halfway to China right now, from spinning in his grave. Go read it for yourselves.
