The assault on the Constitution by the Bush administration soldiers on

all i can do is refer back to my post yesterday where kagro x and glenn greenwald once again point out the continued attack on the u.s. constitution and the rule of law by the most criminal administration in u.s. history... here is simply more of the same...

The Bush administration is urging Congress to pass a law that would halt dozens of lawsuits charging phone companies with invading ordinary citizens' privacy through a post-Sept. 11 warrantless surveillance program.

The measure is part of a legislative package drafted by the Justice Department to relax provisions in the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) that restrict the administration's ability to intercept electronic communications in the United States. If passed, the proposed changes would forestall efforts to compel disclosure of the program's details through Congress or the court system.

so, for want of anything better to say, i'll simply repeat what i said yesterday...

this is the kind of thing that gives me cold chills and restless nights, but it's precisely the path that the bush administration is on and has been on since the coup d'etat was blessed by the 12 december 2000 scotus decision...

[...]

unless and until bush, cheney and their minions are removed, we will continue down this same path until 20 january 2009... equally discomfiting is the fact that, if nothing is done between now and then, the next president will be sworn in with all of this crap still in place...

let me emphasize the point i make in that last sentence, because it is that fact that's causing me a greater degree of angst every day... think about it... on 20 january 2009, a new president will be sworn in... if all the draconian and illegal measures that have been put in place by george bush are still in place, doesn't that put the election of a president in november 2008 in an entirely different light...?
