Since the unfolding of the illegal spying by the Bush administration there has been a lot of tough talk and little progress. Meanwhile the Dubai port deal is still below the radar or completely off official screens. TM-R(day 36)
As it broke, the first to be blamed was the media, the second to be blamed was the Clinton administration and finally Republicans sound tough but do little.
In review, there may be merit to any small theory but the only barriers to anarchy or tyranny are people of principle doing their jobs for the people in each branch of goverment. CONGRESS and the JUDICIARY must stand up for FISA and the constitution. Excuses that blame the law or previous administrations are just that, excuses to not follow the law nor be as accountable as the ones they blame. Politics does not mean that there is not much more need for a clear division between those who stand up for the principles of law and the constitution and those who will violate them or not uphold them.
