  Ofus,
  I believe these articles fall under the category of "Opinion". You may have a problem with the way they arrived at their conclusions, but it is still their "Opinion". If you want cheerleading for your side, check out the FOX News Channel...
  But there is another comment I want to add to this: I don't think Bush/Cheney and the fascist right need ANYTHING else to fight their so-called war on terror, they shoulda put it in the Patriot Act when they had majorities in both houses. I urge all congressmen to vote against these dangerous and misguided extremists and to hold the Constitution and Bill of Rights unchanged. The Constitution provides for presidential rule during time of extreme duress and War or rebellion. It is called Martial Law. Let the cowardly Decider declare martial law if he wants to run the country even more like a dictator than he already has...

  How can you people possibly expect the media to do fact checking or present a reasoned analysis of the underlying issues and the potential ramifications? Can't you see they're busy repeating partisan talking points and perpetuating false claims? You sound just like those silly Democrats, squabbling about their 'constitution' and playing politics by defending the rule of law.

  This article is infused with innuendo without any supporting evidence. Are you asserting that Dodd does not believe that his position vis a vis the bill is correct but only made his filibuster threat to raise campaign donations or get more votes? What evidence is there to show that. Moreover, the fact that people running for president will get money from people who support their views is not worthy of an article. If you want to do reporting or commentary, perhaps you could actually discuss the legislation and the pros and cons of giving immunity to corporations for actions one knows nothing about. This article is so superficial. position.
