Senator Clinton Takes a Stand

In today's Congressional hearing, Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) vehemently defended the freedoms of American citizens against the surveillance authorities claimed in the President's recent Executive Order. Clinton contended that FISA law had been bypassed, and therefore violated by the order. The UACL applauds/welcomes Senator Clinton's continuing efforts to combat the administration's unlawful actions. Her high-profile symbolic move to hold AG Mukasey in contempt of congress, if nothing else, should certainly draw some much needed attention to this issue of vital importance.
