House Democrats reject telecom amnesty, warrantless surveillance
Finally, we have some genuine resolve and defiance in favor of the rule of law and basic constitutional protections.
Glenn Greenwald [2008-03-14]

  • Veto, Elephantman? To quote your Leader, "Bring it on."

    Sure thing. President Under-30-Per-Cent vetoes...and then what? Bush will wave his little arms, shout "Terror! Terror!" and Lo, the Sky Will Not Fall. Seems the House Dems have finally discovered there's electoral gold to be mined by defying Bush on matters of deep principle. Now, if only the Senate could learn the same thing.

    Are we finally starting to leave the post-9/11 world behind, where it belongs? Could we possibly get back to post-1776 America? OK, maybe that's still a long, hard slog ahead--as others have pointed out, there's been bipartisan support for the National Security State for a long time--still, I can see the goal again, for once.
