Reply #107: Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Congress KNOWS he did this... sooooo

[DrZeeLit]

1) Why do we hear about it now? (I suppose we're "lucky" to hear about it at all)
2) Why isn't ANYONE up in arms? (and by anyone, I mean CONGRESS)
3)What can a citizen do about this?

I am partially aghast (and that small percentage of my cynical self is NOT aghast, but whispering "I toldja")

I would think some Congress members, on BOTH SIDES of the aisle, would have something to say about this. After all, they really slugged out that Patriot Act. Many voted against it. Many waivered and fell.

So, now that it's basically gutted, by an entity NOT the Congress, what gives?

I really want somebody with BALLS -- somebody in a POWERFUL PRIME TIME MEDIA POSITION -- to tell the rest of the citizens of the United States about this. Because you all know how it goes. We know here at DU, because we choose to be informed. The rest of the pack, the lemmings, need a nod from those who tell them what's happening, no matter how late in the game.

Sheesh.
I can wait to see how the Bush side spins this one.... if they're ever asked.
