WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid released the following statement on today's ruling that President Bush's domestic spying program is unconstitutional:
"Today's ruling is the latest example of how the Bush Administration has jeopardized our efforts in the war on terror. The Administration's decision to ignore the Constitution and the Congress has come at the expense of the security of the American people. Instead of being five years into an effective strategy we are back at square one. We now have the opportunity to take a new direction.

Blissful ignorance.
Reid took longer to reach the mic than I thought....
We just averted a major attack.
He's shilling for the media who have agents in direct communication with Al Qaeda (like Time Magazine).
I would suggest something substantive and corrective but I fear the 'good' Senator does not read FR, nor do any of his staff.
It being beneath them to consider other views than those they have decreed are already so.
Nice to know he's still fulminating, though. His dolor and gloom are always to be relied upon.
"...The Administration's decision to ignore the Constitution and the Congress has come at the expense of the security..."
??????????????? Now that is some twisted bullcrap logic.
Fricken idiot!!
Like Kerry, he "has a plan" but can't be bothered to mention it in this press release.
Is it because he wants it to be kept secret from the terrorists? The press will find out soon enough. So spill the beans...
Bubba: "Kiss it."
Keep talking Harry - Americans are scared to death of terrorism and are also sick of the courts telling us what is right and wrong.
This guy thinks he's going to be Senate Majority Leader!
Another irresponsible liar from the lefty side of the aisle.
It's not blissful ignorance. It's deliberate hostility to traditional American values.
The decision can also be appealed.
It's obvious that half the country (GOP) believes we are in a war while the other half (Dems)believes it's all a bunch of BS. Well, we can lament this fact and make fun of the Dem leaders but, this is an absolute political fact.
My feeling is that most folks believe the Dems (sorry, it hurts me too). In the next couple of years it is likely the US will be forced to pull back their military and again (as we did pre 9/11) start relying on our law enforcement and playing nice-nice with Muslim dictators who hate us.
This is obviously a recipe for disaster. However, politics is politics and the majority of people in this country want to play golf, build their 401k's, and watch fotball. They just don't have the stomache to follow Bush anymore.
So what's Harry Reid's take on the possible effort by Al Qaeda supporters in the United States to gather large numbers of untraceable disposable cellphones?
Want to get a court order for each of those phone numbers?
Ding, Ding, Ding - we have a winner.
Harry, call me when the SCOUS has had their say - we may have to talk about then - just maybe -- OK?
I can't wait to see Reid's press release when the 6th Circuit vacates this decision.
So, who is playing the fear card? One prediction: Harry "We Killed the Patriot Act" Reid will be silent when this order is (1) stayed and (2) overturned by the Court of Appeals.
I agree that the will to fight is lacking.
I'll also point to the letter from Hollywood (left and right) that calls a spade a spade and labels Hamas and Hezbollah by names as terrorist organizations.
The mass media does not agree with this stance.
It is an improvement. It's a matter of getting the word out in SPITE of the conventional news sources which are BETRAYING this nation.
The exposure of the mass media's support and partnership with pro-terrorist factions (through the use of fake, altered, and staged images) is one way to get people to "tune in, turn on, and drop out". It doesn't take drugs to opt out of the "group think". The anti-establishment left of the 1960s is the establishment of today.
Timothy Leary might be boggled to see the internet reaching this capacity of "new thinking" and communication (he was still doping in his final years but he also had taken to the internet).
Look that up in your Funk & Wagnel's. < /s >
