Took a break,....Sessions is doing GREAT!!!!
To: Peach
Sessions: In the past, Graham, Daschle and Gebhardt were part of the gang of 8 that knew about this program (?). I recall reading shorting after 9/11 that only certain members of Congress would be briefed because it was highly classified information
I don't know if FISA had anything to do with it .. they never said what it was about .. just that the WH was worried about leaks coming out of Congress
Also .. for some reason I'm thinking of the bunker to keep certain members of congress in, in case of a full scale attack on DC
Gosh .. there have been so many leaks ... I'm having a hard time remember them all and the timing

Can he win outside of Chicago? In suburbia, and in Union heavy areas like where I live, yes, but in central and southern IL, no.

Gonzales: Can Congress constitutionally restrict the ability of the president of the US in listening to the enemy in the time of war? I don't think we need to answer that question because Congress did authorize the president to listen to the enemy.
Sessions: Gorelick defended President Clinton during a time of peace not war to use the same power.
BREAK - resume at 1:45.

Warrantless wiretapping......they didn't hear a thing.... And neither will the MSM and Joe 6 pack when he watches the TV news tonight after work. The DemonRATS win by just having the hearings - doesn't anyone understand this. It makes no matter what the FACTS are, just get "Domestics Spying" repeated in the media enough and GWB looses.

Don't tell us too much. Some of us don't get Rush for another 30 minutes!(wink) I can't wait to hear Rush's take on this today!
To: All
Just tuned into this, and don't have time to read all previous posts, but could someone please explain to me why they are having a public hearing on this. I thought because they were to be discussing a classified program it was to be in private?

Sessions - Gorelick asserted what they were doing was Constitutional and it was even a time of
peace. Isn't that correct, Mr Gonzales?
Gonzales - Yes.

They may be in America, but that does not make them "Americans". With our borders so porous there is a very good chance they are NOT Americans.

'Obama being groomed for VP...'
Fudd, I believe this too. And, it scares me...he's sooo smooth and will convince people he's such a good guy....and, imho, he's just a more cautious version of slick willie.
To: Gritty
They need to call Bubba and have him testify under oath about what he did and to whom wiretap-wise. That'll shut up the Dems.

Because they themselves lie, they think everyone else lies too. Projection.
