Good News (Sort of)

The AP reports that passage of a bill whitewashing Bush's warrantless wiretapping program is not going to pass before the end of the Congressional session this week.

The respite could prove short-lived, however. If Republicans retain control of Congress in November, they will surely ram the bill through immediately after the election. If Democrats win one or (it could happen) both houses, expect a lame-duck Republican Congress to try its damnedest to get the warrantless-wiretapping and other egregious ideas enacted before the new Congress takes over in January.
