Yes, Sen. Cornyn, let's have that discussion. And while we're at it, let's talk about corruption in the Texas Border Patrol and the hypocrisy that is the Nixon Drug War. Must Texas always be more backwards than California & Colorado?

Give me a break, bloviating creaky old fool. Cornyn probably was taught for the first time last night on what RSS is and who Swartz was, and probably still has no idea.

How is Wikileaks any different? Cornyn is just looking for scabs to pick to see if there's anything under to attack the Obama admin with so he won't have to do his job.
