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..

Gonzales: Article 2 of Constitution - the president has authority to act to protect Americans.

What more needs to be said? "That's all. Thank you very much and have a nice day." Oh, I WISH....

Like LBJ and McNamara on Vietnam, these lib Congressmen want to micromanage THIS war. Their hatred of Bush supercedes the need for this country's safety from terrorists. They're our enemy's friends.

Missed some stuff -- but appeals courts have found that FISA admits the president has constitutional authority to do whatever necessary.

Presidents throughout our history have used warrantless wiretapping.

Washington
Lincoln
Wilson - every cable in and out of US was copied
Roosevelt - authority to review cables and telecommunications between US and foreign country.

No Kidding.. spectre is a wimp... he is AT BEST a liberal republican.

Anyway, point is, he will NOT even think for a second about being offended and coming to the defence of the pres or other republicans.

HOWEVER, disrespect his authority, and it seems to give him some temporary backbone.

I'm glad the dems did it early, should give us a round or so of specture with balls.

Alito was not combative and he came out pretty good.

I agree with what you are saying, Chuck. I am not expressing myself well on this. It is not so much a concern with demeanor as it is with assertiveness and effectiveness.

Gonzales is delivering what can only be described as a bitch-slapping. We have nothing to worry about here, except for the coming Dem sound bites for the media.

Fishface is delusional if he thinks he can be President. Too mean, too arrogant, to Marxist.

Leaky decries peaceful Quakers being spied on and babies and nuns not being able to fly.

Oh, palese...tell me this isn't really true.
