Just say no to warrantless wiretaps

hey... we [the netroots, the congress, the world diplomatic community, and nearly everybody else] just said no to john bolton... we [the netroots, not nearly ENOUGH of the damn congress, the world human rights community, civil liberties advocates, defenders of the constitution, and right-thinking people everywhere] just said no to the military commissions act... we [nearly 3/4 of the american people, the military leadership, many political and media figures, and people all over the world] just said no to staying in iraq... look where that's gotten us and how much attention our tin-ear president and his criminal compatriots have paid...
Senate Democrats, emboldened by Election Day wins that put them in control of Congress as of January, say they would rather wait until next year to look at the issue. "I can't say that we won't do it, but there's no guarantee that we're going spend a lot of time on controversial measures," Democratic Whip Richard Durbin of Illinois said Thursday.

In Senate parlance, that means no.

but, i fully expect, in the spirit of bipartisanship < gag, retch, choke >, bush will decide not to press this egregious example of executive power out-of-control...
