In his Sunday Address Bush is going to order Congress to give him some more FISA power
The day after President George W. Bush marshaled political forces in Congress to grant him greater authority to engage in counterterrorism-related spying, the president stated that he would seek greater changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act when the legislative branch returns to work in September.

"While I appreciate the leadership it took to pass this bill, we must remember that our work is not done," the President said in his Sunday statement. "This bill is a temporary, narrowly focused statute to deal with the most immediate shortcomings in the law."

The President said next month he would focus on further immunizing private companies that cooperate with government wiretapping. However, he used complicated language to describe these activities.

Bet the DLC/Blue Dogs are scurrying around almost peeing their pants in their eagerness to please their master again.

1. If he used complicated language....
it was surely not his own.

This insanity must stop.

2. He is the dictator after all, isn't he?
He seems to be dictating every outcome and getting everythign he wants all the time.

Why should we think anything will change for the better?
