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..

Schumer: Trying to defend how patriotic he is. I can't even type it -- the gag reflect is just too strong.

Graham: "There is a better way..."

WTF, isn't that the Democrat's main talking point out of the SOTU?

Graham is obsessed with the military and that torture thing.

Rush just said the right thing -- this is exactly why the power is with one man - the president - the CIC. It can't be done by committee.

Especially by this committee. Rush is right.

I see some danger in [relying on the AUMF] (which seems to be the approach chosen by Gonzales, DoJ and the President), because it is finding authority for the program in a grant from Congress, instead of asserting inherent authority regardless of what Congress says.

As a result, other point that seems to go by without much probing is the 4th amendment. I think that is important, because at some point in time, the AUMF will be a historical document, with no present effect or force. Should the surveillance stop then?

Me too -- during the impeachment hearings, right, spectre? Long time ago and the appeal of being McCain's VP must be strong.

They all implied that Alito was a liar too.

Didn't they though.....these hearings have got to be a new low in modern history with the accusations of lying. The wrong side is doing the accusing.

Schumer: Specter should let us see the tape because it's obvious the president wasn't talking about wiretaps ?

"Maybe it's not a test....duck and cover...LOL"

I had a B-52 fly over my house a couple of weeks ago. I jumped and ran like heck down the stairs. (not that being on the first floor would have helped much:)

This sort of hearing is what really gets my blood boiling. These arrogate gasbags sit there are bloviate all day long as if THEY have absolutely no responsibility for anything. If they think that the NSA is out of control, go on the record.

Defund it.

Then stand for re-election on that record.

Sheesh, Gonzalez can't get a word in.

With Schumer up now, I doubt a sentence or two will be uttered by the AG.
