CNN.com - Senate blocks changes to Patriot Act deal - Mar 1, 2006
"Democrats complained that the negotiated limits would be virtually meaningless in practice." Yet they voted to "to limit debate and bring the legislation to a final vote.." Granted, 30 voted against, but that could be Republican and Democrat.
Anyway, quit putzing around and get it done; this isn't the U.N. so let's quit "nuancing" ourselves to death.
"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
