but i thought the question was about what the actually existing congress does and does not do with respect to the executive branch and not about an imaginary congress full of versions of yourself.
i agree with you that more aggressive oversight would have been good--but how would you imagine that this program would have been revealed if it was basically off the books that oversight presupposes, typically, are complete?
this is not at all to minimize the spinelessness of congress, particularly after 9.1.2001--but i would expect that you supported that spinelessness at the time--so it wasn't spinelessness but "recognition of danger in a dangerous world" or something.
