“Damn, I love me some Sheldon Whitehouse. He, like, actually knows the law. And he, like, is willing to actually read the stuff he is exercising oversight over.”

EW–How much did you love him the afternoon he voted for the Intell Bill with Amnesty ala the agreement with Cheney, Addington, and Fielding courtesy of Jello Jay and Feinstein.

Only Senators Russ Feingold (D-WI) and Ron Wyden (D-OR) voted against the bill.

I bet Glenn Greenwald over at Salon is working on an article about this. It’s right up his alley. I hope he is because this needs to get a LOT more traction than it has.

I notice that conservative blogger Andrew Sullivan over at The Atlantic mentions this story and links to emptywheel.

At the same time Whitehouse was busy taking on the White House, Speaker Pelosi was busy making brave statements of her own (I quote) “as a mother and a grandmother, nothing is more important to me than the safety and security of our House pages.”

No joke (http://speaker.gov/newsroom/pressreleases?id=0435)

She really puts the nancy in Nancy, doesn’t she?

I’d say her leadership is now in name only. If she’s interested in the real thing, she should consult the Gentleman from Rhode Island.

I don’t trust Sandra Day O’Connor she was part of the Supreme Court Judicial Coup that selected these thugs in the White House.

She should be on her knees praying for forgiveness.
