Democrats in congress (with a few notable and honorable exceptions) have been acting, for the longest time, as cowards, like the Chamberlains and Weimar Republicans in the 20’s and 30’s. Capitulation is their middle name.
But upon further thought, maybe most Dems are also beholden to the corporate kings who have been generous funders of the sociopath party and thereby dictate the course of action in the world. Why else would most so-called Democrats be so loath to speak up and out against (…)

The Patriot Act’s arsenal of intrusion Is constricting liberty really the way to save it?
27 December 2005There’ve been few sugarplums for President Bush this December. Not only is he being compared to a joyless Grinch called Nixon over revelations of secret surveillance, but Congress left town after stuffing his Christmas stocking full of rocks.
The president wanted a vote making the soon-to-expire Patriot Act permanent. After impassioned negotiating, a filibuster and a last-minute fight between the House and Senate, lawmakers instead opted to extend the law for one month — a move that buys (…) -

Republicans Prevented Congressional Oversight of Data-Mining Tactics
27 December 2005WASHINGTON, July 23, 2005 - Bush administration officials are opposing an effort in Congress under the antiterrorism law known as the USA Patriot Act to force the government to disclose its use of data-mining techniques in tracking suspects in terrorism cases.
As part of the vote in the House this week to extend major parts of the antiterrorism law permanently, lawmakers agreed to include a little-noticed provision that would require the Justice Department to report to Congress annually on (…) -

NSA tapped main telecommunication lines for data mining, spying not limited to al-Qaeda
26 December 2005Secret domestic wiretaps authorised by US President George Bush led to the National Security Agency gaining access to the country’s main telephone switches in a vast operation to mine data from phone calls and emails.
The New York Times, the paper that broke the wiretap story, cited disclosures from current and former government officials that the surveillance operation was far broader than anything admitted by the White House and involved the co-operation of private telecoms companies. (…) -
President Bush’s clandestine domestic surveillance-`A rot’ on national psyche
26 December 2005Impeach him now. Enough already. Unlike former President Bill Clinton’s simplistic dalliances, President Bush has consistently and maliciously acted outside the laws of this country.
The revelation that he has personally authorized domestic spying in direct violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 clearly rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors. Not since the darkest days of the Nixon administration have we been treated to such a level of imperious (…) -
First Step to Impeachment
26 December 2005Next year might be decisive for US President George W. Bush, accused of lying, showing total disregard for US and international laws, Constitution violations, living in a bubble, promoting abuses, torture, indefinite detention of and spying on US citizens and foreigners.
For similar crimes, former president Richard Nixon -dabbed as Dirty Dick- was impeached almost thirty years ago as a consequence of what is known as the Watergate scandal.
In the impeachment of Nixon, the argument in its (…) -
High Crimes and Misdemeanors
26 December 2005Richard Cohen, the finely-calibrated syndicated columnist for the Washington Post, wrote a column on October 28, 2004 which commenced with this straight talk: "I do not write the headlines for my columns. Someone else does. But if I were to write the headline for one, it would be ’Impeach George Bush’."
Cohen stated the obvious then. Bush and Cheney had plunged the nation into war "under false pretenses." Exploiting the public trust in the Presidency, Bush had persuaded, over the (…)
