I am still choking down the fact that Obama and Casey voted for the FISA Bill. Both are attorneys well versed in the Constitution and the very blatant violation of the 4th Ammendment inheritant in this Bill. Nevertheless, the did it! What is more interesting is how the voting went:
FISA Roll Call
Obama and Casey sided with ALL the Republicans who voted, and the likes of Lieberman and Rockefeller. Good company there?
Hillary Clinton stood her ground and voted against expanding the power of the government to spy on it's own citizens and forgive the companies that initially helped them to do it illegally. Not to mention the fact that this effectively eliminates one criminal act to go after Bush for. Who was standing with her? Dodd, Biden, Feingold, Schummer, Sanders, Kerry, Boxer, Leahy, Tester and the majority of the Democratic Caucus. Thank you Hillary - I appreciate you standing up for my right of privacy and the Constitution. I definitely misjudged you. Two months ago I would have bet anything that you would have voted "Yea" and he would have voted "Nay". Sincerely - Thank You - and those who voted NAY with you.
Change we can believe in? It's a change, but not the one I expected. WOW!
