"Checks and Balances" is double speak for nobody is to blame for anything. I think that Nancy Pelosi coming out in support of these NSA intrusions should dispel the last lingering notion that 'liberal' has anything to do with liberty. In fact, the only thing, it seems, that she and the republican establishment can agree on is that the power of government is limitless.
just like the papers leaked during the Vietnam era- by Rosenberg? Senility is a cursed fate-the importance of what was leaked is being lost. Then we learned that we had been in Vietnam forever and sacrificed thousands (of Americans, countless others) to protect political reputations. Now, this government intrusion and violation of constitutional law will get swept under the carpet as this brave man is hounded.
