Glenn Greenwald and I think alike, and he also excoriates the democrats in congress for their tepid response to the republican dismantling of the Constitution. Some lowlights:
Rockefeller, the ranking democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, called the republican effort to monitor the president’s illegal wiretapping with a laughably loose oversight committee “a step in the right direction.”
Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein were similarly deferential to Alberto Gonzales on the president’s wiretapping prerogative. Check out this article.
Dick Durbin, ever a strong critic of the administration until he is bludgeoned by right-wing hacks and forced to apologize for telling the truth, whined that Drinky could have done everything legally if he had just come to the compliant congress for a rubber stamp: “Why didn’t you work with us, when you knew you had such strong bipartisan support?” Whined the senator from Illinois, the man who was bullied by conservatives into crying on the senate floor and apologizing for criticizing the Gitmo abuses.
