“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Today's GOP: The rule of law can't stand

Nothing like leaglizing a program to end the furor over whether the President did something illegal in the past, is there? But that's exactly what the latest GOP proposal would do. And if it passes, the President could then legally tap you phone for 45 days without a warrant or anyone knowing. If he changed his mind after 35 days, no onw would ever know, either.

It's like legalizing cocaine, and then having the President announce in triumph that he had broken that law, too.

I always thought the laws in place had to be followed up until the time they were changed. Republicans seem to think that we should change the world so that Bush's feet don't get dirty.

It's quite a platform to run on.
