He's BAAAAACK! Yup, Prince Alberta, newly relocated to the liberal mecca of San Francisco ensconsed in his new multi-million $$ condo, working in the venture capital field (all bad things when he was running for the WH) will today crawl out from under his rock to deliver himself of a major address about the "evils of executive power"
This is going to be a memorable speech. By the time Gore is finished we shall see his head explode!
Bob Barr was a no show
Seems the live video link broke
Bush/Rove's fault of course ;0)
A wonderful tribute to Mr. Earth in the Balance. I salute you. ;-)
*****EVERYBODY, read this and bookmark it. It IS the fact!
Appeals panel rejects secret court's limits on terrorist wiretaps

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The United States has broad authority to use wiretaps and other surveillance techniques to hunt for suspected terrorists, a federal appeals court panel ruled Monday.
In a 56-page opinion overturning a May decision by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the three-judge panel said the expanded wiretap guidelines sought by Attorney General John Ashcroft under the new USA Patriot Act law do not violate the Constitution. (More on the USA Patriot Act)
The ruling by the special panel from the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia gives broad surveillance authority to counter-intelligence and counter-terrorism investigators to track individuals considered potential national security threats.
"Our case may well involve the most serious threat our country faces," the panel declared.
The reversal of May's decision by a federal judge represents a victory for the Justice Department and the FBI, which were harshly criticized by the lower court judge for its handling of wiretap applications, and their interpretation of the authority granted the government by the USA Patriot Act.
The ruling represents a setback to the American Civil Liberties Union and National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, which had filed briefs opposing the government's position, but there was no immediate decision whether the case would be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

What about VP's that fund raise from the White House Al? What do you think about that law breaking?
It's all about Vietnam, don't ya know? The Democrats screwed that up no?
OMG, he is bitting his lower lip, a la Clintoon.
Yes he ask for every business and person to turn over the encryption keys to be held by the government. It is almost like he invented the lie.
O the Hugh Manatee
I've read that Hollywood types are urging him to run. That's good news. They are apparently much more behind him than Hillary. They like his anger. [I like their pouring their money after him.]
:-) This is great because it's as though he's wearing a sign that flashes-- "I am out of my mind. Please give me my medication"
LOL
Al "No Controlling Legal Authority" has some nerve talking about the "Rule of Law" and accusing the president of "breaking the law". This guy is an abomination.
Hmm. Somehow a thousand raw Republican FBI files that found their way to the Hildebeast's closet never bothered him.

Buncha kooks!
Seems the speech is as advertised...
Main points are: Bush is a facist, he is spying on everyone, he lied to get us into iraq the "COLLASAL MISTAKE" of Iraq. Terrorists are bad, but that doesn't mean we have to break the law to be safe, which Bush is constantly breaking over and over and over. Executive taking over everything, Bush trying to take over country and a revolt is needed.
Blah blah blah
The MLK church service at Ebinezer Baptist in Atlanta has turned into a Bush Bash. Our local Atlanta Fox network is showing it.
Maybe Barr decided to stay home and attack the President?
The President's Men has minced words ????
Who wrote this speech??
He's an embarassment to the Dems. It's free advertising for the Republicans.
(psst.. do you think that he helps Karl Rove for FREE? LOL!)
"The fool doth think he is wise...."
Somebody get the transcript and let's count the number of times he says: "The Rule Of Law"..so far he has said it about 100 times. LOL..I want to hear Laura do that ding thing tomorrow everytime he says Rule Of Law Or Law.
I have never witnessed, in all my life, a more political tin ear than that man has. It's like a political black cloud follows him everywhere he goes. Mocking him consistently and thoroughly every place he shows up. Is there a Satire god and was algore created for the sole purpose of making us laugh?
