Pisses me off too. I'm astonished (although I probably shouldn't be) that there's not a national outcry about the Shrub's latest outrage. He's broken the law, violated the Constitution, is proud of it and daring anyone to do anything about it, yet there's no indication that anything will actually be done about it - OK, hearings maybe, but I'm betting that won't go anywhere. It's like the "if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound" thing - if the MSM and Congress decide to abandon the illegal spying issue, does that mean the rule of law doesn't apply and the whole thing will just go away?

How many passes is that SOB going to get?

I don't live in the States anymore, but it still breaks my heart to see what a sizable chunk of the population is prepared to put up with for a little bit of perceived "security". Nearly half the country has gone completely mad, and so docile they're prepared to accept anything if they think it's "for their own good". The America I knew when I was growing up doesn't appear to exist anymore.
