Listing the guilty-- Big Brother --

Here is the list of 65 US Senators that voted to grant the president the right to lock non-citiziens up indefinitely without the right to trial or to challenge the legality of their detention, that declared if they ever are given a trial then hearsay and evidence obtained through coercion may be used against them, and that gave amnesty to those who authorized or committed illegal torture and abuse.

I find it horrific that so many of those we've elected to protect our fragile democracy are so quick to grant powers that belong only to kings, dictators and despots.

What's always frustrating yet gratifying about these lists is that every place in which I can claim representation (New York, California, even Illinois) had senators which voted against. My representatives are doing the right thing. It's just the rest of the country that's screwing me over. Democracy sucks.
