Major defeat for Bush/Obama position on secrecy

This issue was one of the few misteps that Obama has made, but it's kinda big and since i'm not a brainwashed obamanite like the right likes to pretend we are, I wrote an angry letter to the white house critizing this very thing.

what it is: Basically the Department of Justic (DOJ) under the bush admin had used some bullshit "state secrets" pass to get out of responsibility for all kinds of shady shit. well the obama doj decided to keep the bush position for a recent court case reviewing it.  good news for us is that the courts struck that shit down. booya. 

here's a link to a much better written article. (better than my blog i mean).

And if you didn't know Salon is one of the few decent places to find good articles and essays on current topics. The Atlantic is another. They aren't on target 100% of the time but even if you dissagree the points are usually well reasoned at least. which is more than you can expect from cnn, nbc, or fox

Resolution opposing the Hate America anti-Christian Open Borders cabal

Remember when i said that stupid bills get put forward all the time and usually get killed on the floor before getting to the house? Well this is one of those examples. The funny part is that this was narrowly defeated and almost made it through for a vote. Apparently the measure was introduced late in the convention after about one-third of delegates had gone home. 

Summing up his final arguments one of the bills proponents said "If aliens are granted amnesty, they will vote Democrat and it will be the end of the Republican Party,". well I'd have to agree and i can't say I have a problem with it.
