Bruce Fein says has made inquiries of Senators?


What gives him authority or position to be inquiring of Senators?

[F.J. Mitchell]

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

[TomGuy]

Doesn't look like many Senators gave up their Friday to attend this nonsense.

Graham is shaking his finger.

Now, it becomes a two-fer (2 fingers)

Can anyone advise of where this hearing process leads? When the hearing is over what happens next....do they decided to vote on whether or not to censure?

TIA

[blinachka]

What a bunch of total BS this is! Didn't five former FISA judges testify to the SJC that President Bush was within his Constitutional authority in regards to the surveillance program? Ugh!! WHat a waste of taxpayer $$

[TomGuy]

Is that it?

Not even a vote?

So the whole thing was an exercise in futility and stupidity.

[antonico]

Does anyone else think this whole "censure" dust up (that seemed to come from thin air one day) is something of a pre-emptive strike on the part of Feingold, et.al.? I say that because last I read, DOJ was closing in on the leaks on the Secret Prisons and the NSA Program to the media, and they basically asserted they wouldn't have to look farther than the Senate. So is this a way for Feingold, Durbin, Rockefeller, etc., to try to minimize the damage THAT investigation might bring? Just a thought...

[kevkrom]

I know the GOP is making sure this moves forward to committee to capitalize on Feingold's idiotic blunder, but what's the game plan? Is the committee going to just force a vote on a censure recommendation to put the 'rats in the hot seat, or are they going to do an "aw, shucks... I don't think the President should be censured, but I think the whole Senate should get the chance to decide" so they can keep kicking Feingold around a little longer?

[newzjunkey]

Because the Senate has nothing ELSE to debate!

[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.

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..."
