No matter how much Olympia Snowe tries to spin this, she caved to Bush, again. There really are no Republican Senators who actually stand up to Bush -- and there is NO SUCH thing as a moderate Republican Senator:
Moving to tamp down Democratic calls for an investigation of the administration's domestic eavesdropping program, Republicans on the Senate Intelligence Committee said Tuesday that they had reached agreement with the White House on proposed bills to impose new oversight but allow wiretapping without warrants for up to 45 days.This quote from Snowe is just a joke:
"We are reasserting Congressional responsibility and oversight," Ms. Snowe said.The GOP doesn't know how to do oversight.
