Republicans aren't kowtowing; they are giving an education to anyone listening and making the president's case for this program.
The American people understand more about this issue than the Democrats give them credit for. The Democrats are on the wrong side of history, and the WOT. They just can't bring themselves to admit it to the CSPAN cameras, that we got Leahy out there flailing his arms and screaming about Vermont Quakers, nuns and babies on "no-fly" lists, which has ZERO, ZIP, NADA, to do with the subject matter pertaining to this hearing.
