MADDOW: “That sort of tells you everything you need to know about how the beltway sees the relationship between the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party’s base. . . But a Democratic president kicks his base in the teeth on something as fundamental as civil liberties, he puts the nail in the coffin of a civil-liberties promise he made on his first full day in office, and he does it on the first day of his reelection effort? The beltway reaction to that is, ‘Ahhh, good move.’ That’s the difference between Republican politics and democratic politics.”
