Fuck the Fourth Amendment

Quote of the Day:
By the time the election rolls around the only people left supporting Bush will be the Democrats in the House and Senate.
-A comment from "socalmonk" in this post from Markos Moulitsas over at DailyKos, regarding yesterday's 69-28 approval in the Senate of a bill overhauling bitterly disputed rules on secret government eavesdropping and shielding telecommunications companies from lawsuits.

This is exactly why I have decided not to cast my ballot for Nancy Pelosi this November. My representative, in her role as Speaker of the House, along with 20 Democratic Senators have caved in to a war criminal President with an anemic 28% approval rating here at home and who is well on course to be named the worst president in our nation's history. Since winning the 2006 elections, Pelosi has not been able to get her chamber to steamroll over this idiot on just about every important issue sent to the floor. As a result of her mismanagement, this FISA bill went to the Senate yesterday where it passed overwhelmingly.

You know, the Fascist-Republicans currently in the White House have wiped their asses with the Constitution since taking office. Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, and yes, Barack Obama, did the same thing yesterday.

Obama particularly should be ashamed of himself. He's a Constitutional scholar, for crying out loud! What doesn't he get about the Constitution's protection against "unreasonable searches and seizures."

My disappointment runs deep today.
