Judge Lamberth was the head of the FISA Court when 9-11 occurred. As Bush attempted to address how the FISA Court had allowed, over time, ridiculous barriers to arise in our processes (not our law) that allowed 9-11 to happen, Lamberth was one of the judges fighting the changes.

Compassionate Conservatives. The label was meant to remind people that tough love is not without a heart and the government will not be used to brow beat people when they are down. We cannot blindly follow laws because laws do not fit every situation and many laws need to be fixed. Slavery was once legal. […]

As goes Diyala so goes Iraq and our chances for success in Iraq. We seem to be kicking al-Qaeda butts in Baqouba as we surround and destroy one of the last strong holds of al-Qaeda: Odierno—a supertanker of a man with a shaved head who looks like ancient turtle—met with a group of battalion commanders […]
