Senators Who Betrayed The Constitution

Posted on July 16 2008 by Congress Watcher

It’s been a week since the Senate voted to approve the FISA Amendments Act, and a week since I wrote an article here at That’s My Congress. I’ve been too disgusted with the outcome of that vote to return to the keyboard.

Disgust remains, but anger grows. The FISA Amendments Act takes the heart of the Constitution. No checks and balances. Retroactive laws. No equal protection under the law. The fourth amendment trashed.

The following are the United States Senators who voted for this betrayal of the Constitution. 20 of these 69 senators are Democrats. Without the Democrats helping out, the Republicans couldn’t have gotten the FISA Amendments Act passed. Which ones are the Republicans, and which ones are the Democrats? You figure it out. I can’t tell the difference anymore.
