As everyone's heard by now, the invertebrate Dems passed Bush's peeping tom bill this weekend. As soon as he signs the bill into law, he will have the right to peek into your bedrooms, your bathrooms, and even smell your dirty underwear.
For some unexplained reason, the existing FISA law wasn't adequate enough, that being they could still peek into your bedrooms and bathrooms and smell your dirty socks, only under the caveat that they had to obtain a slam dunk warrant within 72 hours. In other words, Bush could pretty much wiretap anyone he wanted, as long as he applied for a warrant after the fact, a mere technicality since nearly all of warrants requested were approved after the FISA law was enacted in 1976.
Of course I'm jesting but only slightly. Bush coddled the Dems into believing he needed the ability to wiretap everything and anything without a warrant, something he's been doing illegally anyway until he got caught.
Logically none of this makes any sense. Like the terrorists are so stupid, Ahib is going to phone Muhammad and say, "brother terrorist, we're taking out the White House tomorrow, don't tell anyone." Call it the skeptic in me, but can anyone else imagine dirty political tricksters like Karl Rove using this warrantless spy program to advantage over their poltical opponents? No, of course not.
Oh, almost forgot, and in fairness to Bush, he did say that instead of the courts administering the program for abuses, he'd appoint the most credible person available, Alberto Gonzalez, to oversee the program.
Can the game get any more rigged?
