19 out of 50?
This is why we need at least 60 democrats elected to the senate.
I'd also like some kind of open debate about this whole issue. If the government itself engages in illegal surveylance, and the government itself asks private companies to help, this raises some interesting questions.
Let's assume, for the sake of argument that all of this is investigated down the road, but Bush, Cheney, Gonzales, et al have been pardoned.
Would you then want to prosecute any private company who did what their government asked?
Why do 68 of our senators play so loosely with our constitutional rights?
It all makes me sick, too.
It's worth noting, however, that once again the republicans seem to have voted as a united group, while the dems were split 19 -31.
These same republicans will, if they have 41 senators next year, block any legislation they don't like.
