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

[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..

[bonfire]

Biden up next. Joy.

[hipaatwo]

Specter named them but it was too quick for me to get the names.

Hi, Christian. Oh, how I wish more people could watch this entire hearing. The Rats are looking like idiots. Absolute Neville Chamberlains and Al Qaeda sympathizers.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Grassley is going after the DemonicRats.....yea!!!!!

[maica]

Grassley is brilliant today!!!!

Smacking members of Congress who seem to be taking orders from the NYTimes.

[PogySailor]

Here's a new spin I heard at the 11:00 news break on the radio: Some Democrats are complaining the Bush administration tricked them into taking the enemies side.

LOL! It's always BUSH'S FAULT.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Hooray for Grassley.

[Peach]

I'm trying to get stuff done around here during breaks and boring testimony and long questions from the Rats.

Grassley going through all the terrorist attacks since 9/11. Good job.

[MEG33]

Biden up next? Mute.

[SE Mom]

GO, Grassley, GOOOOOOOO!!!

He is right on target! Superb observations made by him...

[Miss Marple]

Just got back to hear Senator Grassley's comment on the Valerie Plame case being a two-bit nothing when compared to this. Pointing out that the hue and cry from the media has been noticeably absent.

Grassley now pointing out all of the AQ attacks, and that it can happen here again. Reminds the American people to think about what happened on 9/11.

hehehehehe

[Christian4Bush]

(Remember that Leahy was kicked off the Intel committee for leaking stuff)

I wonder what kind of s***storm would befall if one of the Republican senators mentioned this in his opening remarks?

BUT>>>>Bush is not Smart....they said so themselves!!!!

[Gritty]

Grassley - We have short memories about Sept 11 and then names off many more attacks since then.

Gonzales - we are doing everything we can under the Constitution to prevent another Sept 11th. We may not have days, or weeks or months to use FISA...

[maica]

LOL! Laughing through my tears at the sad state of the "loyal opposition" in America.

[Peach]

Grassley: I asked you to come prepared to tell us about how Democrat and Republican presidents alike have done similar things to this program!!!!!!

[Carolinamom]

It was on clinton's watch that the terrorists bombed the Marine barracks in Beirut.......one of my former students....a really good guy and an only son...died there.

[Mo1]

Grassley Rocks!!

Mr. AG are you trying tell us that the President is doing everything he can to protect American Lives??

[maggief]

It will be interesting to see how much time Plugs gives Gonzales to respond. Biden is a mental midget compared to Gonzales.
