Strange Bedfellows

When the House of Representatives brought articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton in the late 1990s, one of the leaders of the effort was Rep. Bob Barr, a Republican from Georgia. Barr often said he was compelled to do so because Constitutional principles were at stake. It was never that Clinton got a BJ (or is that a Lewinsky?), but rather because he committed perjury before a federal grand jury. Now, years after retiring from Congress, Barr's back on the scene, going after another sitting President of the United States, through his work with the ACLU.

This story from Newsmax.com details how Barr thinks Bush is breaking the law by not exactly following parts of the Patriot Act ... and how the Congress is letting it happen. So, like Judicial Watch, yet another example of a "conservative" acting on constitutional principles, rather than political expediency. Now if only Barr can convince the ACLU to treat the 2nd Amendment the same as the other parts of the Bill of Rights.
