In fact, less than half of the Democrats voted for the FISA amendments, including Obama. I would not have.
I know exactly what I am talking about....as bad as I thought the bill was, at least it included the provisions that I noted that will prevent Obama or any future president from acting unilaterally, outside of the FISA Court and Congressional oversight, on warrantless wiretaps in the manner that Bush did.
Damn...read the bill before making such sweeping conclusions and generalizations.
