A Constitution shredded

By Creature

I knew Barack Obama's yes vote for the constitutionally-flawed, immunity-laden FISA bill today was all but certain, but now that's it's done I'm even more furious than before. To give Bush what he wanted, to cover-up massive telcom and administration law-breaking, to throw in with the GOP and the likes of Rockefeller and Feinstein (on the Democratic side) is beyond the pale. Thanks for nothing, Barack Obama. If you ever return to teaching Constitutional law I hope you're proud that you are personally responsible for having one less amendment to teach.

Update: Senator Feingold is hopeful that under an Obama presidency today's FISA disaster can be fixed. Since I don't have much choice in the matter, I'll take my cues from Russ and keep my fingers crossed.
