Quite unnecessarily, Barack Obama has cast his vote in favor of the senate bill revising FISA to allow warrentless wiretaps and grant immunity against telecommunications companies who cooperated with Bush's justice department and might be prosecuted for violating the law during Bush's reign of illegality.
Even Hillary Clinton had the sense to vote against this bill. By casting this vote, Obama has betrayed his original opposition to the war, and made the same capitulation to Bush's violations of the constitution that Congress has made over and over, repeatedly enabling the rule of lying scumbags without apparent threat of reproach.
I'm truly disgusted.
Welcome to The Cahokian... A thousand years ago Cahokia — across the Mississippi from what is now St. Louis — was one of the biggest cities in the world. Now it's an empty green spot next to the highway. I'm a middle-aged gay man living in New York City, center of the world, future footnote on somebody's future map. Welcome to the new world.
