Re: What will Dems with nothing left to lose, do in coming lame-duck session of Congr




I approve it, as did many democrat congressmen who helped pass it in 2001 and 2006, but only in wartime.


It represents one in a long series of extraordinary measures required by the special conditions during a war, as when Roosevelt monitored ALL electronic messages into and out of the US during WWII, Abraham Lincoln monitored all telegraph traffic during the civil war, and Washington's army stopped and searched without warrant people suspected of being spies or couriers for the enemy during the American Revolution.
