The New FISA Law. Compromise, Capitulation, or Conspiracy? |
| 6/20/2008 12:06:50 PM |
The House has just passed the new Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). We've been hearing about this all week. Steny Hoyer (D, MD), the shameless guy who, along with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), orchestrated this thing, called it a "compromise."

Joe Lieberman as "The Decider" |
| 6/1/2008 6:34:33 PM |

If you remember, last fall the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1955, "The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007." (Read original text here.) It passed with almost unanimous support.... Read More |
