Democrats Lack Backbone on Controversial Wiretap Bill

After all the protest and hand-wringing by Democrats in both the House and Senate, evidently the prospect of being viewed as weak on terrorism proved too great. 56 Democrats, (40 in the House, and 16 in the Senate), voted for the measure that allows the continued warrant-less wiretap policy.

Rest assured. It’s no longer a secret policy. We’ve all been warned.
