Well, Big Brother can watch you, listen to you, scoop up your emails any time you are in contact them.
Welcome to Oceania. Or is it East Asia? Something Orwellian like that.
The Electronic Freedom Foundation and the ACLU will challenge the new FISA law that passed the Senate today — with Obama's yea vote, Clinton's nay vote and McCain's usual absence.
As soon as Shrimpy signs it, they will file lawsuits. Maybe Scotus will not like it. Maybe they will find it is a violation of the 4th Amendment. I know, I know, but look, they've been good on the detainee issue.
Anyway, both my senators, Cantwell and Murray are good gals on this.
What is most striking is that when the Congress was controlled by the GOP -- when the Senate was run by Bill Frist and the House by Denny Hastert -- the Bush administration attempted to have a bill passed very similar to the one that just passed today. But they were unable to do so. The administration had to wait until Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats took over Congress before being able to put a corrupt end to the scandal that began when, in December of 2005, the New York Times revealed that the President had been breaking the law for years by spying on Americans without the warrants required by law.
