Fred Hiatt's Partisan Bickering
Fred Hiatt, an extreme partisan on behalf of the Bush Administration, insists on bickering about the FISA bill. Mr. Hiatt insists on partisan sniping at, for instance, Ron Wyden:
An amendment to the Senate bill by Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden would go too far by requiring that a warrant be obtained when U.S. citizens are the target of surveillance overseas; this would be an unnecessary and potentially disruptive precedent.
Rather than explaining why he believes requiring a warrant for government surveillance, as the Fourth Amendment requires in the United States, of US citizens residing overseas is "unnecessary and potentially disruptive," Hiatt instead engages in empty partisan bickering.
It is people like Fred Hiatt, who engage in partisan bickering, who keep our good representatives in Congress from enacting bipartisan laws. After all, the FISA bill Hiatt is engaging in partisan bickering about was passed overwhelmingly 13-2 by the Senate Intelligence Committee. Why does Fred Hiatt hate bipartisan legislation? Why must he constantly engage in partisan bickering
On the other hand, Hiatt is wrong in his diatribe against those who oppose Telco Amnesty. That is principled and brave representation of the principles of our country. You see the difference I hope. When I support or oppose something it is principled. When Fred Hiatt supports or opposes something, it is "partisan bickering." We must end the gridlock in Washington. Fred Hiatt must be detained by the government.
