Like an Opposition Party Only Different

Today the Senate passed a bill that would 1) allow the President to eavesdrop on private phone calls and e-mails without a warrant and 2) retroactively protect anyone involved in that type of snooping when it was illegal. The bill had the support of some 19 Democrats and numerous lobbysist for the telecommunications industry.


I think this puts to bed any fear that the Democrats are any less craven, unprincipaled, or money grubbing than the Republicans. Sen Obama voted against the measure. Sen. Clinton was absent.
