Back Talk

They have knowingly left our country in jeopardy for a month now because of their failure to sign off on the “Protect America Act” to give our intelligence groups the right to gather information on possible terrorist activity. The senate has already passed its version and is waiting for the house Democrats to act. The reason the DemPols are holding this up, aside from their predictable obstruction of the President, is to protect the lawyer lobby that contributes hugely to very Democrats who are doing the obstructing. The lawyers have forty-one lawsuits ready to file against the telephone companies for cooperating with the CIA and FBI in wiretapping and monitoring suspected terrorists. The lawsuits punish the telecommunications companies for cooperating with our intelligence agency to make our country safer. Without protection from billions of dollars in lawyer enrichment lawsuits, the companies won't cooperate with U.S. intelligence agencies. It is a dishonor for Pelosi, et-al to take something as important as American security along party lines placing politics ahead of the country, but then, that behavior is pretty routine nowadays. Thus far in the battle of politics versus American security, the tally is lawyers and Democrat House members winning, America losing.
