Reid Considers Extending Protect America Act For One Month

The Hill:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said Tuesday he would seek to extend a controversial interim wiretapping law through February to avoid the early presidential primary season.

Reid said Senate Democrats might have a better chance of resolving internal disputes and moving a rewrite of the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) once the early primaries have concluded.

Harry Palms is your democratic leader in the senate, your worthless lame leader. When are you lefties going to nominate a real lefty like Kucinich and find out once and for all that your type of thinking is a tiny minority on this county? Show some balls!

You can always count on the DumbOcrats to kiss the fascist Bush's arse.

Reid must be replaced. Dodd or Feingold, someone ready to make the transition to the new direction that we need to take to survive as a nation. The thought of another year of Reid and Feinstein makes me want to hurl.

Is Reid the best the Democcrats can come up with? Shame on them!
How about Pat Leahy? He has been around for a long time and hasn't lost his fighting spirit while serving the people. And there is also Russ Feigold, who has alot of spirit. In fact I can think of quite a few of the Democrats who would be better than Reid.

This is bullsh*t.

Do your job FIRST. Then worry about running for re-election.

I am so sick of the entire group of politicians believing that we (the People) should pay them to spend half of their time campaigning to keep their jobs - when they can't seem to find the time to actually DO the job they were elected to do.

No matter what happens in 2008, Harry's gotta go.

Bullshit, you pussy Reid. The prior law was just fine and the temporary law can't expire soon enough. And Feinstein's Solomon solution of splitting the baby to have a secret court hearing is bullshit too. We need transparency in Government.
