Live Thread -- Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on Censure Resolution of Bush on NSA Surveillance

CSPAN ^ | March 31, 2006

It was a legitimate question based on his post, and his feelings about/against the President.

Take in your claws, Enchiladita. I'm not your enemy.......no matter how much you want me to be.

He answered my question, and I'm satisfied that he doesn't want the President impeached (which I truthfully didn't know before).

I do find it interesting that you went out of your way to condemn me for asking a genuine question, when trublu just answered it. There may be a lesson there for you.

"How about legislation to allow ordinary citizens to band together to censure Congress?"

We already have them. They are called "elections".

[La Enchiladita]

You accused him of believing in impeachment even after he said he did not. So, it appeared you were attacking the person and not the statement.

[ohioWfan]

No I didn't. Stop looking for trouble.

There are people on this forum who do want to impeach the President. His first post wasn't clear, so I asked him. He answered, and I said "Good."

He apparently didn't have a problem with my question (I'm sure he knows that he has said enough things against the President on this forum that made my question legitimate).

You're the one who imagined that it was an 'accusation.' There's enough disagreement on this forum without your making it up. I am NOT your enemy.

I think the hearing is replaying -NOW- on C-SPAN2. It's a hearing from today, at any rate, and Specter is speaking now.

[ohioWfan]

Thanks for the heads up.

I didn't hear it earlier.............just tried to find out what was going on here.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Schmidt: Congress can't encroach on presidential power.

Yes. Censure is an internal protocol in the congress. There is no constitutional provision for "censuring" the President.

[ohioWfan]

Ewwwwwww...........Leahy!

[nunya bidness]

This should be good.

[ohioWfan]

As soon as Feingold shuts up. ;)

[Howlin]

"Good," as in good for laughs?


What a bunch of pricks.

[nunya bidness]

As usual Hatch is talking the talk. We'll see if he can walk it.

[Howlin]

I'm going to the airport to pick up the hubby, which is just as well, as I'll miss D E A N.

I'll be back; alert me to any "shocking" stuff!

[tobyhill]

Feingold is just trying to get a resolution of guilt of the President to distract from the almost guarantee indictments of the leaker's of the program, ie; Durbin, Rockerfeller.

[nunya bidness]

Will do.

[p23185]

The US Senate= the Achilles heel of a otherwise near perfect government. The only mistake our Founding Fathers ever made.

Thank the founders for the House.

[p23185]

OF COURSE the Pres has no uncheckable power. YOU F*-*. I hate everybody in the whole world right now. I hate you and you and you. I have no hope left.

Like most good days over at the DUmp, they are again unhinged. Why don't they just desert the DemoRATS and start their own "Soros" party? God knows there would plenty of money to buy votes and propaganda.

CBS Radio's newsbreak at the top of the hour started with this:

"President Bush was compared to President Nixon in a hearing on Capitol Hill today..."

[vigilante2]

Thanks for the ping

This was someone else's comment"

"How about legislation to allow ordinary citizens to band together to censure Congress?"

This was my response to that comment:

Turner suggested that it would be illegal for Congress to censure the president on the issue of wiretappiing.
