Like putting lipstick on a pig

A good editorial at Philly.com on the Senate's rush to make illegal surveillance, legal. I liked the punch line.

To us, this is mopping up after spilled milk, while the guy who spilled it, the president, gets off with a smirk.

Rather than trying to fix a law that wasn't broken until Bush decided to break it, Congress should be considering censuring the president. Otherwise the message from
Congress to future presidents will be break any law you want.

We've got your back.

So where do we find legislators that remember that's where their spine is located? I just found out about Bush's signing statement that rewrote the Patriot Act to suit himself. I mean, how much does it take before it's too much to ignore?

Russ Baker eloquently asks the same question. Who will answer?
