		<description><![CDATA[By altering, rather than ending, the practice of rendition, Barack Obama, like George W. Bush before him, is making an implicit claim that he has the right to act outside the law.  We opposed that claim when it was made by President Bush, and we therefore oppose that claim by President Obama as well.]]></description>

An approach to Homeland Security that destroys the United States in order to protect it is not something that most Americans are willing to support.]]></description>

She has taken little meaningful legislative action, and has earned a net score on our <a href="http://thatsmycongress.com/senate/">Senate legislative scorecard</a> of just 8 points out of a possible 100.
