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 have no idea why she is being protected. she was at the top, and should have been held accountable. The City of NY is still paying the victims, and there are more lawsuits for wrongful death pending, and she sits atop the Authority DOT still. I believe that Bloomberg should be held accountable for not firing her liberal butt. You can see the political influence here. It is staggering to know this crap goes on and he opens his nasty,filthy,depraved yap about decent people doing their jobs. I am sure judging by his mean and vicious streak that Iris tells him when to go potty, and he does like a slavish little metrosexual. People that are as mean and nasty as Schumer is in front of people have no control in their personal life, so they lash out to prove they have a scintilla of manhood.

Biden is backstage now, patting himself on his back for his *brilliant* performance, and calling for make-up during the recess. I'm not sure just what he considers himself: 1)A brilliant interrogator who disarms his enemies with his brilliance, 2)A brilliant comedian who disarms his enemies with his comedic timing and scathing humor, 3)A Disarmer, whose charm and good looks bely the wrath that boils right below the surface and is reserved for those unrighteous fools who dare to come against him

Huh? where? I have both c-spans on, I don't see DICKIE.

Sorry. C-span announced Durbin and couldn't get the feed. Then Schumer came to postulate and they had to break away to the hearing. Made my day.

Hearing back under way.

Specter: Let me negotiate whether there will be another round and we have to ask you to come back, Mr. AG.

We'll be here until at least 5:30 and now to Sen. Graham.

Biden: Pardon the interruption, but I do have other questions. Is it likely if after you survey us after we close down today that you will ask the AG back for us to ask questions?

Specter: Leahy was asking for another round. I thought we'd have a number of senators who didn't finish up in the second round. The AG has stated that he's flexible regarding coming back.

Biden: I want to go to the floor to speak on the asbestos bill.

Specter: You should stay here.

Graham up.

Dims are requesting another round in open session.

I wonder what they think they have dug up? Did they get another fax from Daily Kos?

The physical search of Ames' residence was open for a legal attack - with the attack not coming because the government had a case otherwise and Ames never went to trial.

Information obtained is secret and will remain secret, it will not be used as evidence in court.

Cspan cut off Schumer's comments....but promised they would show them later !

Think I'll skip that one...he did get one comment out ...one thing we have learned today....but I don't know what that one thing is.

Of course I learned a lot more than just one thing!

Does anybody else hope that Gonzales asked for that break so he could go indict everyone Biden knows.

Certain Dems have been actively looking for a reason to impeach Bush since his first inauguration. Actually, since the Bush v. Gore decision was announced on 12/12/00. If the Dems win Congress back, they WILL at least attempt to impeach the President.

Ha, Schumer was pre-empted.

Evil Genius Karl Rove from his underground lair 300 miles below the White House pulled the plug on the CSPAN cameras.
