Joshua Micah Marshall on Bush's FISA Retreat

Sigh. It's hard getting dumped.

Just ask Mark Levin, resident legal mind of nutball right-wing authoritarianism in early 21st century Washington, DC. Actually, the resident legal mind of nutball right-wing authoritarianism these days is really probably John Yoo. But we're talking a bit more the low-brow, second-tier chat show niche here. In any case, here Levin quite rightly has a fit over the fact that the program the administration spent like -- what? -- a year saying was vital to national security (warrantless wiretaps) can now apparently be brought under constitutional supervision without any problem whatsoever.
