It was rejected by a coalition of Republicans and Democrats who have become comfortable with the existence of totalitarian government powers. The vote wasn’t even close: 37 for Udall’s protection of American freedom, 61 opposed to the Udall amendment, and 2 senators who didn’t show up to vote.

To reduce the threat of smog would, after all, require Americans to look at their own behaviors, and for powerful corporate donors to restrain their impulse to seize profit regardless of the consequences.

Posted on July 5 2010 by Congress Watcher

Posted on May 9 2010 by Congressional Aid

On Thursday, May 6, Senators Joseph Lieberman and Scott Brown introduced S. 3327, the “Terrorist Expatriation Act.” Where you read “Terrorist” in the title, insert “American.” The bill (read full text here) provides that any American who is engaged with terrorist activity, supports a terrorist organization, or is engaged in activity against any country that [...]
