Specter's collapse (like clockwork) on the torture issue was so expected that it was rather anticlimactic in the end. What will it take to wake the right up to the danger? I don't know.
Commenter Lee on Balloon Juice had an idea:
Put it in these terms and it MIGHT scare the Party of Torture (it is a very catchy phrase).I rather like the idea, but in reality, this sort of threat to the American Way of LifeTM will bring out the knuckle-draggers who feel the need to drive these monstrous vehicles when they really only need a Toyota Corolla (but that isn't butch enough).
A Democrat is elected President (Gore, Hillary, whoever is scarier to them).
They decide that global warming is the biggest threat to our national security.
With this bill anyone driving a gas guzzler would then be “purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States”.
Matter of fact you could press the agrument with driving a gas guzzler and international terrorism.
