Another far-rightist who needs to be fired

Lovely. America still has Clinton's Justice Department and (worse) Bush's FBI.

FBI Director Robert Mueller III is now asking lawmakers to renew Patriot Act provisions that are scheduled to expire in December.

Let me be frank: The Idiot Act is bullshit and should be flushed down the johndola where it belongs. Courts have periodically struck down portions of it as unconstitutional - but not nearly quickly enough. The Patriot Act should be repealed at once.

But not according to dinosaurs like Mueller (a Bush appointee). He wants unconstitutional provisions that allow the probing of Americans' financial and phone records to remain on the books.

Dissenters from the Mueller order have a tough road ahead. That's because Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. supports renewing these provisions too. Sadly, this isn't much of a surprise, considering Holder's involvement in the Clinton Justice Department. While Bush was the most hostile administration ever to basic liberties, the Clinton era also saw its share of infringements on our freedom. (Who remembers the NKU arrest scandal?)

One asks why Mueller was confirmed 98 to 0, because only 10 years ago, support for anything that's in the Patriot Act now would have probably been considered outside the political mainstream.

How can America be truly free if Bush's conspirators such as Mueller are allowed to stay in control of law enforcement?
