...that FISA was instituted in 1978 (at the instigation of Democrats), at a time when no one in the whole wide-world had a cell-phone, much less a cordless.

Was FISA ever re-fitted to reflect this?

Nope.

Why not, I mean republicans have been in power for a while and it wasn't even changed after 911.

But then a phone is a phone no matter if it is attached to a wall.

I look forward to the day when you complain about liberals.

Given that, I grant your point, as you must grant mine.

Neither party is enamored of the idea that the executive may be curtailed (for their own purposes), but at the moment, it is the Dems who are crying about abuse, and a President who is "ignoring" a creation of theirs. ;)

The crys of foul on this are bi partisan. How could I complain about a "liberal" if they have no ability to bring up anything I may disagree with at the moment?

This ?

“Open government demands that the vice president come clean with what happened ... There’s probably a very simple answer to it, but we have to break this habit of the administration, of closed government without the openness that is healthy to a democracy.” :unsure:

I've read and heard a lot of theories but haven't taken anything seriously about the whole elmer thud thing

It didn't occur to me what I heard was from video; don't know where you'd go to find it-I saw some on MSNBC and some on FOX.

She drew some pretty absurd parallels and connections between Cheney's deal and other perceived shortcomings, like, oh....Iraq, Iran, WMD, NSA wiretaps, Halliburton, immigration, the budget...that type of thing. ;)

However you will have to be a bit more detailed if you want a serious comment
I shall look again but it's a bit elusive at the moment.

on absurd parallels and changing subject what is your take on the "liberal medias":rolleyes: and right wings talking point that bin laden sound exactly like the democrats (trying to hint that democrats support bin laden)

Silly is silly, wherever it comes from.
