Democrats At Least Pretending To Stand Strong On Spy Bill

February 15th, 2008

So the House democrats are pretending to have some back bone so far. I watched a Pelosi press confrence last night, and she’s striking the right tone, and making the right arguments about why they don’t have to rush re-authorization of the Protect America Act despite tomorrow nights expiration (because the underlining FISA bill still provides warrants, and warrants already issued still apply) and about Bush fear mongering again.

But we’ve heard tough talk and posturing from Pelosi, Reed, and this Congress a number of times over the past couple of years, only to have them eventually bow and give Bush exactly what he wants.
