The imminent FISA debate implicates every critical issue of constitutional protections, checks and balances and the rule of law.
  • My umpteenth letter to Dianne

    Senator Feinstein,

    The New York Times is reporting that the FISA bills are up today. That doesn't give anybody much time to consider what you people who represent us are doing before you do it.

    They are reporting that the Senate is considering giving the Administration retroactive immunity for the telecoms. They report that both the Senate and the House are giving the NSA basket warrants for blanket wiretaps. They are reporting that there is a "Save the Majority" mentality and the Democrats are afraid of being "Soft on Terrorism".

    You ought to be more worried that, in light of this Administration's actions, you are being "Soft on Treason". And "Soft on Civil Rights". And providing a "Soft Shredding of the Constitution".

    Because there will be a comeuppance for those who are breaking the law down there in Washington, even if you fearful representatives refuse to impeach or try anybody, refuse to investigate, refuse to take a stand. We citizens will demand the accountability of our government officials that you fearful representatives are too scared to demand. We the People will demand our country back. And on that day, you will stand with the criminals if you don't stand with We the People now.

    Your Constituent,
