BlueOregon: progressive politics,
news, and commentary for
Oregon
The
administration’s propaganda blitz was not only about exploiting fears of
terrorism for the fall elections. It was also about building support for a
new push in Congress to give the Bush administration political and legal
cover for policies that violate basic constitutional principles like due
process. The idea that the rule of law – and even the Constitution
itself – threatens our safety has been used to justify repeated attacks on
civil liberties and the principle of checks and balances since 2001.
And now Congress is about to consider new legislation that would further
bloat the power of the executive branch by removing crucial judicial and
congressional oversight.
Here
are three bills (still in committee) to keep an eye on...
S. 2453 (Sen. Specter), S. 2455 (Sen. DeWine) and
H.R. 5825 (Rep. Wilson) would essentially codify Bush’s
illegal domestic spying program despite the facts that the full scope of the
program is still a secret and a federal court in Michigan recently ruled the
program unconstitutional.
Use the bill trackers above, take a
look, make up your own mind,
and
e-mail or fax members of
Congress.
