Leahy Sets Another Meaningless Deadline

As TPM reports, Patrick Leahy, the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has set another deadline for the administration to ignore without consequences. Leahy originally subpoenaed the documents regarding the legal basis of the--now completely legal by act of Congress--warrantless wiretapping programs on June 27th, 2007. August 20th is the new date on which nothing will happen.
