LIVE THREAD: SJC hearing on the NSA surveilance program - C-span 1; 9:30 am EST

Posted on 02/06/2006 6:08:53 AM PST by ken5050

Good Monday morning, once again, fellow political jinkies. The NFL season may be over, but the political season inside the Beltway is 24/7/365. So join us, if you can, as those wacky Dems on the Senate Judiciary committee reprise their pitiful efforts to once again smear President Bush and score political points..

I took a break to REALLY find out just how well Gonzales is doing today, by checking out the DU Live thread on these hearings.

They are completely pissed off, angry that C-Span is 'helping the Republicans'. They are also over the edge because Gonzales was not sworn in.

In short, they know they are losing again, and they just cant take it. It is another good day to be an American.

Finishing up post at link #1071:

*****************************************************

A 2004 NBC report graphically illustrated what not having this program cost us 41/2 years ago. In 1999, the NSA began monitoring a known al Qaeda "switchboard" in Yemen that relayed calls from Osama bin Laden to operatives all over world. The surveillance picked up the phone number of a "Khalid" in the United States — but the NSA didn't intercept those calls, fearing it would be accused of "domestic spying."

I believe that Debra will be attending the Senate hearing today. Filmmaker Andrew Marcus will be there on behalf of Pajamas Media. Our own Paul Mirengoff will be with Andrew, I think, for at least part of the day, as they try to snag interviews with Senators, witnesses and observers. It will be nice to have at least one "journalist" on hand who actually understands the legal issues that the Senators will be pontificating about.

They are just trying to set up the next band of treasonous scumbags as 'patriotic whistleblowers'. Look for another round of disgruntled former CLINTON ADMINISTRATION hold-overs to go to the media with some tale of administration over-reach. This is getting ridiculous! Going to listen to Rush for a sanity break. Be back later.

He said it, definitely. I thought my ears deceived me and then remembered this is Ted Kennedy.

She should run for Senator of NY against Hillary. She would win in a heartbeat and would do the state and country a great service.
She would also do justice to her husband from the Senate compared to what is there now from NY.

Even if she was from a state or two over, she can move there and register in a day.

Scott McClellan: The AG cited how president's have used the same authority. He laid out the safeguards in place.

Did you just hear the question from Powerline? Durbin had never heard of them!

Durbin should be afraid....very afraid. The Pajamadeen is here to stay!
