Senate Sanctions Rape

As reported by the Washington Post today:

“The Bush administration could continue its policy of spying on targeted Americans without obtaining warrants, but only if it justifies the action to a small group of lawmakers, under legislation introduced yesterday by key Republican senators.” Huh? Talk about swallowing one for Georgie.

This isn't oversight by Congress, it's a smokescreen designed by Bush bedwetters to cover continued illegalities. It's as if the Senate just declared rape legal – as if it had proposed that rapists be allowed to continue their crimes. Rapists would be freely allowed to continue violating women for a specified period of time – let's say 45 days, at which point the rapes would be reviewed against three options. The rapists could be forced to stop, or they could continue - if able to convince others that the rapes are justified, or they could try to convince a small group of inattentive and uninformed people that although there is insufficient reason to commit the rapes, continued raping "is necessary to protect women."

How would that work?
