Another scandal… Ho-hum. Is anyone surprised by this? If you are you shouldn’t be. Has our government given us reasons to trust them lately? The good news is this provides a way to repeal the Patriot Act which should never have been enacted in the first place. And while they are at it, how about restoring habeas corpus and repealing the Military Commissions Act and prosecuting illegal wiretapping.
Stay tuned… I’m sure there will be a new scandal coming to your TV (or computer) screen soon!

Russ Feingold, D-Wis., a longtime skeptic of the FBI’s power to secretly compel businesses to turn over private information about customers in anti-terror cases.
