I see the Repubs itching for an impeachment battle NOW when we have no subpoena power.

But you are definitely dead-on with regard to the framing issue. The Repubs always forget to mention the NSA wiretapping as being done without a warrant. They frame the argument as being whether or not we should have the wiretapping at all. Dems MUST get ahead of this and keep hammering ILLEGAL, DONE WITHOUT FISA WARRANT, AGAINST THE FOURTH AMENDMENT.

The bottom line is that we are impotent until we take a house of Congress. In that vein, I believe the best strategy is not giving the bastards what they want and that is an impeachment discussion NOW. Ms. Pelosi said we would have investigations; I am satisfied FOR NOW with that.

I like the piece you wrote that you linked to. I'm fully into fire-breathing passion as long as it is strategic. The Republicans are slippery bastards and I do so want them to eat shit. Trust me on that.
