The new FISA hurts not just as voted/enacted coverup, capitulation, enablement, masochism, desertion, betrayal, collusion, criminal accessory, cowardice, dereliction or expedience.
Obama's Reaganization is not merely worrisome as a dangerously flawed campaign ploy.
The secondary group of reasons to curse the '08 FISA are the missed chances, in congress, campaign, and national attention, to alert, inform and invite more citizens to insist on the moral and effectual restructuring of our moribund government.
I've been thinking about this since the vote. Obama has inspired a lot of young people and motivation is a key to learning. So, it's doubly hurtful that Obama and Congress missed the opportunity to motivate all those young people they have in the palm of their hands to learn something significant about civic values, the rule of law and their leaders' responsibilities. What a sickening and monumental waste.
