Hayden passes through Senate committee with support of Democrats

I must say, I'm incredibly disappointed that Mikulski and Levin supported Hayden in the committee vote. As we learn more about the government spying on American citizens, it is beyond belief that any Democrat could not see that this is a serious issue for all Americans and this is just another lost opportunity to call into question the Soviet tactics of this administration. If the Democrats want support from their base, this vote is bullshit. If we wanted a rubber stamp for the millionth time, we'd just vote Republican or not vote at all.
