"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05

Portland Oregon News Radio Stations -- KXL.com -- Newsradio 750 KXL: "Sen. Arlen Specter, Chief of Judiciary Panel, Says He's Skeptical of Domestic Spying Program "

"Specter added: 'I don't see any talk about impeachment here. I don't think anyone doubts the president is making a good-faith effort. He's acting in a way that he feels he must.'"

Unfortunately, from the media's and Democratic perspective they do doubt his "good faith effor." If Democrats do not doubt them, yet politicize it they are only continuing the game they have for years now. As usual, this is to our country's detriment.

I would like to hear more politicians support it, at least for the sake of it's initiative and the obvious importance of it. They can then certainly add that it may be extra-constitutional and worthy of looking into. Instead we immediately get a whole slew of "I think(s)." Which too often is the storyline run with by the media and makes getting in touch with the reality of our world that much more difficult.
