Graham: I want to create law that will help people fight the war.

Riiiight. Congress has been diminishing that capability for years.

No, no, you guys need to relax.

Graham is setting up a great argument here for our side. He is establishing the fact that Congress has a remedy at their disposal, if they don't like the NSA program.

THEY CAN DEFUND IT.

Of course, the Dems would get SLAUGHTERED if they try it.

Graham makes the case that it is just a difference of opinion, not illegalities.

Graham- If you think this is illegal, defund it, stop the program and vote your convictions.

I agree. Bring it to a floor vote like that idiotic Murtha bill voted on in the House last November, which Murtha voted against.

I cannot believe that SC, one of the most conservative states in the nation, ended up with Graham. Ack.

He sure is.

He's on the opposite side of this than the rest of us.

Gonzales: The fact that the president has inherent authority doesn't mean Congress doesn't have any authority in a particular area.

Regarding competing congressional authority...

Graham interrupts: That's where you are with me right now.
