Bush regime to ease domestic spying rules

When you think the ruling regime can't get any worse, it always does - as it has for 8 years.

Bush's alleged Justice Department has quietly released a new proposal that would make it easier for state and local law enforcement to gather information about Americans and share this sensitive information with federal agencies.

This effort is designed to permanently preserve repressive policies that have gained height under the Decider.

What it means is that if the local authorities have a grudge against you, you end up in a federal database for good.

But have no fear. I'm sure the Democratic Congress will stop this. Right? Well, won't it???

  1. I sense skepticism in that question. You know the answer. Of course the Democrats won't give back any power.

  2. With the Evan Bayh/Rod Blago wing of the party in charge, that skepticism is justified.
