    And Not Just FISA

    The attitude underlying the contemptuous dismissal of Dodd's and Feingold's objections (and ours, as well) displayed by msm and other officials, both elected and appointed, is nearly identical to the attitude regarding any serious impeachment effort against VP Cheney. Representatives Wexler, Gutierrez and Baldwin, members of the House Judiciary Committee all, couldn't even get their editorial on the matter published by the NY Times, WaPo, Boston Globe or LA Times. And this despite obvious violations of both the Constitution and various statutes. These media organs long ago cast aside serious examination of government, its representatives and--as representatives--their responsibility to the citizens of the United States.
