Stop it I said! Okay, I really really mean it this time!

Sen. Specter Threatens to Block NSA Funds - Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON - Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter said Thursday he is considering legislation to cut off funding for the Bush administration's secret domestic wiretapping program until he gets satisfactory answers about it from the White House.

'Institutionally, the presidency is walking all over Congress at the moment,' Specter, R-Pa., told the panel. 'If we are to maintain our institutional prerogative, that may be the only way we can do it.'"

Indeed. I had put some hope in Specter early on, because he actually had some tough words as soon as the NSA story broke. He even used the word 'impeachment.' But with DeWine and Roberts covering the pres's back (Though Dewine has been critical of the Iraq debacle lately), what's the admin.'s motivation for compliance? The intelligence and finance committees have all the real power here. What a bumble-fuck.
