Practical Politicians
The Dems have caved on this issue because they realize that pushing it only adds to the (accurate) perception that they are weak on national security. The overwhelming majority of the people in this country see no value in launching a futile lawsuit against telcos, are not terrorists or sympathizers and have no fear of their privacy rights being tread upon in the name of national security, and therefore tend to come out in favor of the Bushies on this issue. Hoyer and his litter recognize this and have backed off in time for the election--a prudent political decision.
