Action Item: Dial for Democracy

Christy's got the lowdown.

As Atrios says, "There's probably no greater threat to America as we grew up understanding it than the bill Specter is pushing. David Broder and Barney Frank might find this rather shrill, but it is truly an attempt to destroy the foundations of our government."

This is spot-on. The Specter bill would protect the Bush administration from any worries about judicial review of its behavior. Right now, the judiciary is the only branch that's not willing to roll over for the administration, and anyone who's interested in protecting that last remaining check on BushCo needs to take a couple of minutes and pick up a phone to make their voice heard in opposition against Specter's craven attempt to undermine it.
