Democatic Disgrace
The silence from Democrats during the passage of the MCA, allowing a few republican senators to "lead" on the issue of civil liberties, was indeed a disgrace. And remains so.
Those who vote democratic should keep a very close eye on this congress. Do not accept the argument that majorities are too thin to address this issue.
The time may be arriving (soon) in which real splits may appear in the party, due to the need to apply strong pressure on laggard Democratic members of congress on the Habeas issue, as well as other matters. If for some inexplicable reason Democratic members are not willing to repair the damage done to our civil liberties, then they should be pressured to the point of not having any alternative but to do it--out of self-defense.
