On Olbermann last night they addressed another, darker, motive that you didn't here.  You seem to believe that they are doing this because they don't want to "win".  Maybe, the reality is, for certain powerful Democrats passing this law is "winning". 

We know Democratic leaders in Congress knew this was going on and did nothing.  Maybe some of them actually had a part in it and know that if the Administration is held accountable then so will they.  Reid and Pelosi as well as many of the others are scum.  Also, I am disappointed that Obama has yet to take a strong stand anytime any of these clear violations of the Constitution come around.  He typically votes against them, but as (now officially) a party leader he should be at the front of the charge against them.

It does make sense that some dems were protecting themselves by passing this.  Just as it makes sense that the fracking Iraqi war/occupation was ultimately about oil, which many of us wondered from the very beginning.  ARGH!!
