Don't Keep Us Safe, Mr. President

Debbie Stabenow, a Dem Senator running for reelection this year, has a strange way of looking at national security (h/t Best of the Web Today):

Debbie Stabenow, Michigan's junior U.S. Senator, says President Bush and Vice President Cheney don't follow the law when it comes to national security issues, and the Republican-controlled Congress has failed to hold them accountable. "The reality is, both the president and Dick Cheney don't believe they are hampered by the law," Stabenow told the News-Review editorial board. "They believe the general powers of the presidency allow them to do whatever they need to do to keep us safe.

"That's why we need at a minimum at least one of the Houses in Democrat control to create the accountability that for six years, this one-party rule has not been willing to have. . . ."

Lord knows we don't want the president to do whatever he needs to do to keep us safe.(?) Just to remind you who Stabenow is, here's a little blast from the past:

Step 1: Admit you have a problem.
