..of this is the fact it's now easier for Republicans to spy on Democrats.
Bush & Cheney have already made it clear that they think Democrats & liberals are "terrorist sympathizers."
Add to that Scott McClellan has told all willing to listen that Bush & his people are in constant campaign mode. What does a White House in constant campaign mode do? Easy: They spy on the opposition party as much as possible.
Hoyer & Pelosi, by agreeing to this bill, have now given Republicans carte blanche to do what the Republicans wanted to do via this bill in the first place: To legally wire-tap & spy on Democrats.
Like I said, Bush & his right wing extremists regard Democrats as terrorist threats. So the first logical step in this new & improved spying venture is to start spying on Democrats.
