This Protect America Act now enters into the annals of American history alongside other BushCo-demanded legilation with pretty names, that really gut the protections of American citizens. And the minority mad-dog Blue Dog Democrats, in siding with the "culture of corruption" rubber-stamp Republicans, allowed this blindsiding of our democracy to occur. BushCo has politicized everything. So what makes anyone think that this Protect America Act will be any different? Unchecked and unlimited spying authority, given to Gonzales (DOJ) and McConnell (DNI), while circumventing the FISA court.....why, we're watching the return of Richard Nixon and his administration's using all of our intelligence agencies to spy on all American citizens on Nixon's "enemies list." Hopefully, these mad-dog Blue Dog Democrats will wake-up in the next six months. Otherwise, they'll not be welcome for much longer in the resurgent progressive liberal Democratic Party. Oh, right, they'll just pull a Lieberman, and become "independent," or switch completely to the "culture of corruption" Republican Party. I wonder what the odds in Las Vegas are on this?
