Congress is the New President

WTF?  Is there anyone in Washington who places any value at all on the Constitution?  Now the administration is caving on Miranda.

The Obama administration said Sunday it would seek a law allowing investigators to interrogate terrorism suspects without informing them of their rights, as Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. flatly asserted that the defendant in the Times Square bombing attempt was trained by the Taliban in Pakistan.

Look, we know by now that conservatives wet their pants every time someone brown says "Boo!" and can't wait to give terrorists whatever they want.  I had thought "radical liberals" were made of sterner stuff.  But apparently all you need to do is say "Taliban" or "al Qaeda" to get anyone in D.C. to dirty themselves.
 
You do realize that this is all coming out of our brave, Real Americans (TM) being scared shitless by two completely inept, failed attempts at terror attacks.  And do you think that Miranda is going to be waived for a blond?

I know there are people in this country who have their heads screwed on straight, but they don't seem to make the news.
