1. Helen Thomas, U.S. House Discovers Constitution

Edited on Thu Jun-01-06 08:14 AM by EarlG
U.S. House Discovers Constitution

Helen Thomas, Hearst White House columnist


Hypocrisy is alive and well on Capitol Hill.

An FBI raid on a congressman's office has caused a ruckus between his irate colleagues and the Justice Department over congressional prerogatives.

If only these same members of Congress had been more sensitive about individual rights when they passed the USA Patriot Act, a law that is truly invasive of the privacy of all Americans.

These are the same lawmakers who were complicit with President George W. Bush's unprecedented order to secretly eavesdrop on millions of Americans without a warrant.
