“We are a nation represented by sheep.”

Close, but actually, I think

“We are a nation of sheep.” Represented by cowards?

We are losing our county one slice at a time. We notice, the netroots sees, but the country has no clue.
I just cannot believe that our Dem leaders are so stupid. I dont believe it. Something is going on and it may continue to get worse. Even Webb, our hero voted for this thing.

Sometimes you’ve just gotta trust they’re doing the right thing. After all, they seemed trustworthy before. Why shouldn’t they be now?

Have a little faith and wait a while to see how it plays out.

Do Democrats who knuckled under to Bush’s demand believe that they have spared themselves from harsh campaign attacks? They’ll still get accused of trying to cut and run, of letting down the troops, and of being soft on terror; by implication, if not explicitly, they’ll still get labeled as cowards if not traitors. And they won’t have a vote protecting the Constitution to fall back on.

The concept of Democratic spinelessness has become the conventional wisdom now. Chris Floyd’s article makes much more sense: http://www.chris-floyd.com/Art.....Democrats/

SOMEBODY, READ THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - Congress cannot legally and arbitrarily override the Fourth Amendment. Only the STATES can amend the Constitution, and it requires an Amendment to remove an existing amendment (see #18 & 21). We need a lawsuit, and if the whole concept of FISA (secret courts are also unconstitutional (see #6)) & this new law aren’t struck down, the States need to impeach all three branches of the Federal government. It’s just sick to appease al Qaeda by taking away all that our country is supposed to stand for.

The problem with a lawsuit is no one will ever be able to prove they have standing since whether or not you are impacted is classified. If there ever is a Supreme Court that believes in the constitution again, one of the doctrines that needs to be reexamined is the notion of standing. It is an important legal concept and needs to be kept but it also needs to be fixed to allow judicial redress of the kinds of power grabs made by this administration.

/agree Dianne

I still can’t stand Nader for his election year 2000 betrayal but it’s a sad sign of the times when i can finally see what he means when he spoke ill of the dems back then.

I wonder sometimes if the ability to remotely turn on cell phones and then listen in on conversations nearby may have contributed to the horsehead in the bed. No one expects a private conversation to be monitered - its something, I guess, we’ll all have to get used to.
I may still vote Democratic (no choice there)but I will no longer write checks.
The Dems are hollow inside and no match for Bush & his 28%ers. Too bad for us.

How about asking Democratic representatives who voted for the new FISA law:

“Exactly how did Bush blackmail you to vote that way?”
