Congress is worried about the Exectutive Branch grabbing power. Congress is all exited because NSA is acquiring records of telephone calls for use in combating terrorists. The same data that the phone companies now record, and sometimes sell to commercial interests. It seems to me that Congress should be more concerned about the Judiciary. A Federal Judge in Oakland is deciding if the test required for graduation from high school in California is discriminatory because students who can't speak English or who are unable to do eighth grade math fail the test. The Lawyer for the students says they should not be penalized because the state failed to teach them. (It seems that to Liberals, everything is society's fault.) In my opinion the Judge should not have allowed this suit in the first place. A high school diploma is meaningless if it doesn't represent at least some minimal level of competence. Why should a Federal Judge be the one who decides who has demonstrated the educational level necessary to graduate from high school. In another case a Fedral Judge has ordered a company not to inquire as to the alien status of its employees, which is a violation of Federal Law. Judges (and Lawyers) need to be knocked down a peg ot two.
