have been "this is not an important issue to us Dems in the REAL WORLD, I hope DU does not devote excessive attention to this!"
Many of the people responding to the FISA / telecom immunity threads don't seem to understand the scope of the issue. They have not read up on the subject and are unfamiliar with the "deception being propagated by both Democrats and Republicans about what this bill means", as a Constitutional scholar said on KO last night.
God knows how harmful drawing excess attention to a constitutional piece of legislation might be.
Did you oppose DU officially sponsored efforts to kill the Alito nom?
