Thank god, some good news at last - on domestic spying

until the signing statement...
Members of Congress from both parties succeeded in passing legislation that restricts the wiretapping of US citizens without warrants by the National Security Agency on Friday.

"When Congress said the Administration must get court approval for domestic surveillance, we meant it. Today, Congress reaffirmed that basic protection," said Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who co-sponsored legislation included in the intelligence authorization bill that Congress passed.

so, if bush uses the signing statement ruse, will the dems fight it...? if they don't, can we throw them out and replace them with people who will uphold the constitution and work toward the common good...?
