The Bushists, led by Duhbya the Wiretapper-in-Chief, demagogued this bill (of course). The lily-livered Democrats failed to find any guts at all to protect the Constitution. And once passed, the Bushists continued to demagogue the issue.
This is all about politics, not security. The GOP politics is anti-Constitutional universal surveillance, and the Democratic politics is timidity in the face of Republican willingness (really, eagerness) to call them names.
And both sides say the new law has to be fixed. What needs to be fixed is the ruling class. But an early vasectomy for George H. W. Bush would only have prevented the most glaring part of the problem, not all of it.
