Who's Your Standard Bearer?

Okay all you Bush haters and others who want the next administration to pursue the Bush Criminals. Okay all you so-called civil libertarians who want the erosion of our civil liberties to stop. Okay all you people who support sanity in criminal justice system. All of you. Who do you want carrying the banner to the White House? Do you want the person who supports the FISA atrocity or the person who does not?

Statement of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 : NO QUARTER: "...Congress must vigorously check and balance the president even in the face of dangerous enemies and at a time of war. That is what sets us apart. And that is what is vital to ensuring that any tool designed to protect us is used – and used within the law – for that purpose and that purpose alone. I believe my responsibility requires that I vote against this compromise, and I will continue to pursue reforms that will improve our ability to collect intelligence in our efforts to combat terror and to oversee that authority in Congress."
