Yet another example of reality trumping irony

It's hard to add much to this:

The Bush administration has failed to nominate any candidates to a newly empowered privacy and civil-liberties commission. This leaves the board without any members, even as Congress prepares to give the Bush administration extraordinary powers to wiretap without warrants inside the United States.

The Bushies have endless gall and absolutely no respect for Constitutional protections for the individual. It's really amazing.
