NYT: Senate Passes Bill to Expand U.S. Spying Powers
After more than a year of heated political wrangling, the Senate handed the White House a major victory Tuesday by voting to broaden the government’s spy powers after giving legal protection to phone companies that cooperated in President Bush’s warrantless eavesdropping program.Why bother with a new election. Let's just make it a permanent Bush Presidency.

GK you sum up my sense of this outrage in democracy.
All I can imagine is that Bush is holding something over everybody's head. He gets his way on these most appalling issues. Its unreal. If the dems are that freeking spineless, what's exactly is left. There's no place for solace, no place for justice. This is an abomination.
If either Obama or Clinton gets in so what? if this is the Congress they get it just means BV$H will continue to run things from Crawford anyway. Its becoming pretty obvious something is seriously screwed up in DC.
