not good enough

Today the Senate Judiciary committee reviewed chairman Specter's proposal to re-establish Congressional control over FISA and Bush's illegal domestic eavesdropping program. The Boston Globe reports, with a nice quote of support from (former Reagan administration lawyer) Douglas Kmiec that this is a 'good faith effort', designed to 'save face on both sides'. Wrong. The President has the ultimate responsibility to follow all existing Federal laws. Changing the rules in the middle of the game isn't good enough. It avoids the fact that the Bush administration plainly broke the law.
