Another WTF? Moment

From WaPo:

The Senate bowed to White House pressure last night and passed a Republican plan for overhauling the federal government's terrorist surveillance laws, approving changes that would temporarily give U.S. spy agencies expanded power to eavesdrop on foreign suspects without a court order.

A) This just legalizes all the illegal things the bastards' have been doing, and B) what makes anyone think that BushCo is only going to be watching foreigners?

And C) when is the Senate going to take its collective head out of its ass and start doing what we elected it to do, which is put some constraints on this bozo?

Maybe Pelosi will give this whole panic rush a sharp pull on the reins.
