I guess I just find it soooo ironic that there was this HUGE outcry over the whole issue and then the Democrats turn right around and pass essentially the same issue making it law. Now not even a whimper. Ok, a few whimpers, but not this threat of Congressional hearings and all the other political posturing that went on after the program made it to the public.

Well..most of the Democrats voted 'no,' so really, the Republicans were the most responsible for passing it.

Since this issue has to be revisited over the next few months, there will still be plenty of time for hell-raising. After everyone gets back from vacation, anyway.
