FISA

Can anyone tell me why bad FISA legislation was brought to a vote in the first place? I thought we controlled both the House and the Senate. It isn't as if there haven't been several (almost yearly) adjustments to a law which Bush was been blatantly violating anyway.
Similarly, why were filibusters not allowed?

Personally, I want the Democrats to go on the ATTACK!
I think our leaders are far more frightened than the population as a whole. Yes, the Republicans will lie and smear and distort. We know that.
But we're doing their work for them, and it has to stop.
When the President has historically low poll ratings and ALL of our current woes can be tied directly to the policies of the Republicans, which IDIOT Democratic representatives are worried about re-election???
Hasn't the Iraq and Afghanistan wars put an end to the insane notion that Republican's should be in charge of national defense? What have they done but play up our fears to the ruin of us all???
I really wish our leaders would LEAD for a change. They would start by using the power we gave them in 2006 and advancing ONLY our agenda.
I could live with NOTHING getting passed for the rest of the year; I'm not so happy about our Constitution getting shredded in the name of compromise. It is not as if Bush won't nullify all the good bits of these compromises with signing statements, anyway.
