Democrats bow and scrape to the king, again, and again, and again ...

Well, as predicted, the Democrats bowed down to Bush and kissed his big toe today (I might have used a different metaphor, but this is supposed to be a family blog), voting to kill the FISA amendment that would have stripped the bill of telecom immunity. All other measures to strengthen civil liberties protections are going down as well. 18 Dems joined the Thuglicans on this one. Obviously, given that, Dodd's filibuster will fail as well.
