>>Were they complicit in the Bush Administration’s violation of the law?
You gotta ask, why do you think that despite the 2006 takeover of Congress, Pelosi/Reid, never pursued any hearings or drama as demanded by Moveon and the like?
Bush had the Dems over a barrel, they couldn’t go after him without exposing their twofaced, hypocritical “outrage” at the Bush programs, because they had been briefed and briefed and briefed.
Strategery and Poker. Glass Houses.
The Dems were hoisted on their own petard. If they went after Bush, they naive, gullible voter base would’ve been totally disillusioned.
Not to mention the fact that they also would of found out that they hold the wrong view on the Constitution in regards to this issue. Even the FISA Court had ALREADY ruled that the Commander in Chief has this power.
