33. You refuted nothing.
The warrantless wiretapping was taking place way before the 2007. The 2007 bill still required the FISA court to be notified within 72 hours. It also restricted wiretapping from being targeted at individuals. Congress may have given them more breathing room in that bill but it was years after the fact. The Bush administration was doing the warrantless wiretapping thing for years and it had nothing to do with Congress. My statement stands.

Also, you need to learn how to read. I said the tax cuts were the only domestic item with any punch. I did not say they were the only domestic item period.

Regardless, I could give a shit less. When people have to deal to get something done, thats what they do. It doesn't matter what happened during the Bush administration. To pretend that its not part of the dynamic is pure political illiteracy on your part.

They are making a deal to get these people some help. You will live over it.
