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..

[daybreakcoming]

Some Democrats are complaining the Bush administration tricked them into taking the enemies side.

But...but...but...how could that be? Pres Bush is too "dumb" to be so clever.

[Chuck54]

Gonzales seems to have hit his stride and showing these moonbats to be the idiots a majority of the voters think they are.

[processing please hold]

I'm sure I've been flagged if such a system exist. I hope it does. If the dims had their way, we'd be left wide open for attack day in and day, then they'd want to lynch Dubya for not protecting us. I hate the dims.

[maica]

LOL!

241 Marines died in their sleep when their barracks were bombed in 1983. I've always thought of Tim as being that last number...1. His parents here were so devastated that his father just wasted away and died too.

Biden: This is why the Intel Committee needs absolute guarnteed assurance that no American is being wiretapped unless they are in contact with AQ. (Finger pointing and highly agitated)

Can Biden guarantee us there are no leaks coming from the Senate??

[ken5050]

I'm waiting for Feingold....he should be interesting..Also, will Graham put his foot in his mouth yet again?

[Peach]

Good point.

I had to help my husband with something and hope I didn't miss anything.

[maggief]

Kohl "Let's move on", his mantra in committee, meaning, "Um, I didn't understand your answer."

LOL, also ... "I don't have much time remaining" and "I see my time is almost up."

[maica]

This AG, talking about a true National Secret, is still more forthcoming than AG Janet "I can't discuss an ongoing investigation" Reno ever was in any of her Senate testimonies.

[Carolinamom]

Still another reason that, God forbid, that a democrat should NOT be voted into the WH and not carry on this war against those who want to destroy us...........and them, if they were to just think about it.

[conservativebabe]

He just said that the AG should answer in a way comprehensible to everyone else. LMAO!

[Peach]

Kohl: If you would listen to AQ to AQ outside the country but not AQ to AQ within the country, that is unfathonable.

Gonzales: We try to get that information other ways.

Kohl: We need some logic and sense.

Gonzales: Think about the public reaction that has arisen in some quarters about this program. If we were talking domestic surveillance!

[daybreakcoming]

Did Kohl just say to Gonzales "You are smart and so are we"? LOL

[Peach]

Protestor in room!

[prairiebreeze]

HECKLERS!!

[conservativebabe]

Outburst in the audience

[maggief]

Feingold will be campaigning.

Protester!

[daybreakcoming]

WHOA - what was that outburst about?

[Gritty]

Kohl is very concerned we might listen in on Al Qaeda to Al Qaeda within this country.

I guess some Senators want to assure their own domestic phone calls will be protected as well!
