House Approves Wiretap Measure
White House Bill Boosts Warrantless Surveillance

The Democratic-controlled House last night approved and sent to President Bush for his signature legislation written by his intelligence advisers to enhance their ability to intercept the electronic communications of foreigners without a court order.

The 227 to 183 House vote capped a high-pressure campaign by the White House to change the nation's wiretap law, in which the administration capitalized on Democrats' fears of being branded weak on terrorism and on a general congressional desire to act on the measure before an August recess.

if i suspected that congress wasn't really dedicated to upholding our constitution before, there is absolutely no doubt now... with everything that's come out about the bush administration, for congress to hand over sweeping new powers to the white house without even the hint of a fight, is completely despicable...
