Bush Lies, Patriot Act Dies?

It's one of those you really have to look for the silver lining, making lemonade out of lemons kind of things, but, it seems that some folks in Congress have rediscovered their spines. After having it shoved in their faces that this administration can NOT be trusted to protect our liberties while neo-conning their way in the world, a couple of senators announced that the NSA news might impact their Patriot Act votes.

Senator Spector (R-PA): if the news is true then it would be "very problesome, if not devastating" to renew the act.

Senator Schumer (D-NY) and someone who should have known better to begin with: "Today's revelation that the government listened in on thousands of phone conversations without getting a warrant is shocking and has greatly influenced my vote."
