House Democrats said Bush has committed a crime in authorizing the spying and that House Republicans have abdicated their responsibilities by refusing to hold hearings.

Rep. John Conyers (news, bio, voting record), the House Judiciary Committee's top Democrat, and other Democrats met in a basement room of a House office building Friday to hear a panel of lawyers and activists discuss whether Bush had committed an impeachable offense.

The NSA's warrantless eavesdropping program is "an intelligence operation in search of a legal rationale," said George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley.

"Scolds" is a perfect term for them.

How dare they protect us from terrorists!

Everybody knows the Democrats are the experts on National Security.

What...? I couldn't get past the first line:

Democratic senators took the Bush administration to task Friday for four years of domestic spying,...

This is an editorial trying to pass itself off as news.

Pathetic MSM drivel.

[CyberAnt]

And .. do you know why they were meeting in the basement ..??

It seems that right after the repubs took back the Senate, the dems continued to try to hold hearings - which they are not allowed to do - not as far as the legitimate hearing rooms are concerned. Once while the dems had a hearing in progress, Frist's head aide - called the office of the dem who was holding the hearing and told the dem's staffer what he was witnessing on his closed circuit TV - the dems acting like they were the chairman of the committee and holding hearings; calling witnesses, etc. Frist's aide politely told them STOP IT - and he better not see that happening again!!

This forced the dems to take to the basement to hold their PHONEY HEARINGS - still with no authority to call witnesses or any such stuff. But .. C-SPAN continues to support their little PHONEY HEARINGS because it's more hate-Bush garbage.

How many times can they jump the damn shark?

What is the difference if a terrorist physically brings a bomb in to this country or phones the instructions ?? same thing!! These Traitorous Democrats (a lot of meanings to that dirty word and none good) need to realize if there is an attack they will face 100% responsibility for it!! I do not think it will be pretty ..

That snake pit of sedition is all that is left If they were smart and that is imposable or they would be with us the nitwits should be demanding MORE intelligence gathering NOT less!!!!!!!!!!!

[Txsleuth]

That wasn't just a hearing today...I listened to it...it was a "mock trial"...and Turley was the first one to use the impeach word...

If the caller or the callee is not in the USA, how is it domestic?

That Bush statement came at the same time the National Security Agency was engaging — at the president's direction — in warrantless eavesdropping on Americans.

So, we have to get approval from the black-robed bureaucrats?

Say, I got an idea...why don't we all just tie our own hands and feet and give the keys to the White House to Osama. Won't that be fun?

DEMOCRATS INTERFER WITH WAR TIME INTELLEGENCE GATHERING

All Of America Put At Risk By Dems

There - Fixed it.

[Reactionary]

Oh, good. The wonderful liberal are scolding Bush for protecting America.

What else would they do? The hate America and everything it represents.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

If you're consorting with al-Queerdo you deserve to have your calls monitored.

[A CA Guy]

F these retards, let them address first the FBI files and Echelon under Clinton regarding Republicans and the general public.
Let the Democrats explain to the country how it is bad to check out communications between probably terrorists and some people in our country.
Let Hillary propose the Terrorist confidentiality rights act!

[presidio9]

Is there someone in the DNC that I can send money to to encourage them in this idiotic pursuit? OBL is issuing new threats against this country, and the Democrats are trying to raise an outcry over the rights of one of his pals in Detroit? Knock yourself out Howard Dean. I'm sure the American public is just as outraged as you are.

[airborne]

Domestic spying my a$$!

We're intercepting communications from our enemy!
