Over the rest of the day, and perhaps into tomorrow, we will be watching an elaborate dance whereby Democrats pretend to defend our rights or be ‘concerned’ about this or that abuse of power. At the end of the debate they will pass a law that grants retroactive immunity to telecommunications corporations and they probably will expand warrantless wiretapping…making what has been illegal for 30 years, legal.
To be clear, they didn’t have to do this, but they wanted to do it. There are some good Democrats. Document their good acts. But, more importantly, document the bad Democrats. They must pay for this.
