Contact: Jim Manley or Jon Steinberg, 202-224-2939, both of the Office of Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid
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.

I mean, it really is amazing. The very program Reid is celebrating the apparent demise of is what allowed authorities to thwart the latest terrorist plot. This guy has no idea how he is viewed beyond the MSM and the kook fringe.

Uhhh, Harry, the majority of Americans support this program. The decision and this crap from Harry Reid's mouth come on the heels of the foiling of a British airliner plot which was uncovered by surveillance.
Doah!!! Harry Reid how gd stupid can you be? The saddest part is someone will buy what you're trying to sell.

This decision is actually good news for the GOP. The President and up-for-election memmbers of Congress need to hammer home that this is what they will get with the Dems in power.
The GOP has needed to be on the offense for a long tie. I hope that this ruling will serve as a catalyst for it.
To: Sub-Driver
Why would you put yourself on record saying that? That is fodder for the republicans. I am starting to believe the myth that Rove does have a mind controlling machine

Is this in lieu of the usual Pelosi press release or will that be coming later?

I fear getting caught between reid and a tv camera more than I fear that Bush is spying on me

How long did the ACLU have to shop for this scumbag Caretr appointed judge before they found her. I hate to say this I know I will be flamed for it, but a lot of really stupid descisions have been coming from female judges.

The more success Conservatives have concerning the WOT.. the more Un-hinged and Irrational and Dangerous the Liberals will become. They are Rats backed into a corner and they are fighting for their political lives. It would be nice if they fought for OUR LIVES just ONCE!

Keep talking Harry - Americans are scared to death of terrorism and are also sick of the courts telling us what is right and wrong.Yes, I hope that ALL of the Dems follow his lead, and condemn Bush for using the NSA. Get as many dems on record on this issue as possible. Hillary, where are you on this ruling? Please tell us your thoughts.
