And....it was said that if he had run for the Senate again...he would have lost.

LOL. How about Coq au Vin and a nice Merlot, with a Baba au Rhum for desert?
Ever since it was revealed that the National Security Agency (NSA) was intercepting electronic communications by al Qaeda operatives into and out of the United States, controversy has swirled around the program. This portion of the NSA~Rs surveillance has been conducted without orders issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court. But has FISA been violated? Is the September 18, 2001 Congressional authorization for the use of military force sufficient to authorize this program in accordance with FISA~Rs terms? Does the President have inherent constitutional authority to implement such a program? Or does Congress have the constitutional authority to prohibit the President~Rs use of electronic intercepts to monitor enemy communications during an armed conflict? The surveillance program also raises questions about the legitimate privacy expectations of the American people and how the Fourth Amendment applies in these circumstances. Should Congress amend FISA? What role should the courts play in overseeing this aspect of the war on terror?These are all fundamental issues, implicating constitutional governance, the rule of law, individual liberty, and the national security. The answers are complex.

I haven't heard of any of the speakers...don't know what party they are affiliated with..
Are you going to go??
Looks interesting. I marked my calendar to check and see if it's getting covered, although maybe they won't do it live but show it later.
The panel is sponsored by The Federalist Society, so I would expect it to have people taking all sides. They usually do a good job of finding articulate spokespeople.

No. Too far away. I'm hoping C-SPAN sends a crew to cover it. They sometimes cover National Press Club luncheons.

I dug up brief views of each (except the moderator). Looks like the discussion would be well worth viewing, if one is interested in the subject in general. I hope the moderator quickly takes the discussion past "legal or not" and probes deeply into "where do we go from here?" and "why that way?"
It's pretty easy to figure out which side each of these speakers will take ...

Try to remember to PING us on this thread if/when you see it listed on C-span, okay?
I knew before 10 AM on 9/11/2001 that a new era of government was on us. "More government" and "less freedom" and "less responsibility" is the theme from this point forever - and the people will BEG for all of it.

Senator Russ Feingold brings a “text chat” version of his trademark listening sessions to the World Wide Web on March 10, at 10:30 AM Eastern. The live, online session will be open to anyone with access to the Internet and a desire to ask questions of Senator Feingold live, in an online computer text chat session. The Online Listening Session, where participants are able to type their text questions to Senator Feingold, will be a first for the Progressive Patriots Fund website.
He'll just ignore questions WE post; don't you think?
