I love the liberal focus on protecting murders and rapists, and opposing the death penalty for cold blooded criminals, but they support killing the innocent unborn children. Liberal logic and morality at its best.

To a liberal, this isn't a life:

Do we still have the rule of law? H.R. 6304, FISA Amendments Act of 2008, was signed by President Bush and it includes Title II.

When the Executive branch tells the Legislative branch to remove the Judicial branch from 40 cases in the courts we have an Executive branch that acts "...like the King of France, who once said: "L'Etat, c'est moi." "The state is me." They are saying: What we want to do is what we will do. And if we want to do it, the law is irrelevant...." Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.)

Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.),
Chairman, Senate Committee On The Judiciary
On The FISA Amendments Act Of 2007

"... Now, in the bill we have a title I, a title II. Title II in the Intelligence bill talks about retroactive immunity. We do not address that in the Judiciary Committee's bill, but I do strongly oppose the bill reported by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in that area. Their bill would grant blanket retroactive immunity to telecommunications carriers for their warrantless surveillance activities from 2001 through earlier this year. This surveillance was contrary to FISA and violated the privacy rights of Americans.

The administration violated FISA for more than 5 years. They got caught. If they had not gotten caught, they probably would still be doing it. But when the public found out about the President's illegal surveillance of Americans, the administration and the telephone companies were sued by citizens who believe their privacy and their rights were violated. Now the administration is trying to get this Congress to terminate those lawsuits. It is not that they are worried about the telephone companies. They are not as concerned about the telephone companies as they are about insulating themselves from accountability.

This is an administration that does not want us to ask them anything, and they do not want to tell us anything. Interesting policy. If you do ask them, they are not going to tell you. If they do tell you, it appears oftentimes they do not tell you the truth. Now, the rule of law is fundamental to our system. It has helped us maintain the greatest democracy we have ever seen in our lifetimes. But in conducting warrantless surveillance, the administration showed flagrant disrespect for the rule of law. It is like the King of France, who once said: "L'Etat, c'est moi." "The state is me." They are saying: What we want to do is what we will do. And if we want to do it, the law is irrelevant.

I cannot accept that. ..."
