Senate Folds on FISA, Will the House Stand?

We all realize we have a big problem with Bush and Cheney and we know that providing there are no excuses for Bush to declare martial law, they will be gone in less than a year. I'm sure people realize that we also have a big problem with the Senate. The House seems to have "caught the drift" coming from the American people. They finally censored Bolten and Miers for not answering the subpoena's that they had sent out almost a year ago to testify in front of Congress on the end-run around the FISA Court that the administration had perpetrated, but that was the House. The Senate, clueless and bold, voted to give the telecom companies a get out of jail card for allowing the Federal Government to tap American's phones without a warrant. That's par for the Senate that shows no oversight tenacity or even tries to make a show out of acting as if it did. The Senate has been the biggest defender of Bush and this administrations policy since the beginning.

We have had the Patriot Act shoved down our throats, The Military Commissions Act of 2006, The Warner Defense Act (Re-vamped Insurrection Act ), The Kyl-Lieberman Amendment and a host of other fascistic laws. So why is the Senate so eager to pass this law giving Immunity to the telecommunications industries before the House can use it's oversight on how the administration broke the law by skirting the FISA Court? The simple truth is that they are not out to "protect" the telecommunications companies, this is just another way to protect this administration's flagrant disregard for the "rule of law" (unless they use it on someone they don't particularly like). It seems as it's just perfectly all right for President Bush and Vice-President Cheney to spout on about the subject, but when it come to themselves, it appears that "executive privilege" allows them to spit on the Constitution and the US Code as they see fit.
