yeah, that's pretty poor.

The bill would give the government a week to conduct a wiretap in an emergency before it must apply for a court order. The original law said three days.

does this mean they can carry out wiretapping for 6 days without a court order, and then pack up and go home without telling anyone and without applying for that court order?

sadly I am on that same boat, had so much hope for him...

but alas.....he is of the same .....

Personally I think winning the election is more important than sticking to his guns.

If you'd vote McCain instead now just over this, you're pretty naive.

At this point I just want to see him win the election, if he's a terrible president, what can you do, but I'd rather take that chance with Obama than with McCain.

Of course I read the link. I just got a little confused - it said that Obama at first didnt sign the bill, then he did at the end. First it was the Israeli lobby group that he made a deal with. Now its a deal with a devil. Whats next?
