This Week In Tyranny
The folks at FireDogLake have put together an online petition to support Chris Dodd’s fight against telecom amnesty in the upcoming FISA-reform bill. These companies must not be above the law and the President must not be allowed to make up laws on the fly. This debate gets to the heart of who we are as a nation and I hope you’ll consider signing it, and encouraging others to do so as well.
Dodd and Ron Paul are the only high profile candidates who have said they would actively undo the damage George Bush has done, so while I don’t presume to speak for Mark I feel very comfortable saying these are the two preferred candidates for a site dedicated to pruning back executive power. For the rest of the candidates it looks like (via Kevin Drum) most of the candidates aren’t very interested in undoing Bush’s abuses of the Constitution. And via Glenn it looks like Mitt Romney considers Bush a piker. Undoing the damage of the last few years will be a long-term project.
