This is stunning. The notorious Rockefeller Memo is now in full swing; the left is now "all in" on this NSA Spy Stuff as their ticket to win elections. The left in this country is now not only certifiably crazy; they're dangerous - to us all.

Mark Levin had McCarthy on his show tonight talking about this very thing...

I don't understand why President Bush, Frist and Hastert, Blunt...don't stand up right now...and say that any "hearings" would be tainted by the very people that are involved...because of THEIR leaks to the press...

END OF HEARINGS

Sen. Leahy must have gotten a good deal at "Big Lots" and he's sharing them with his friends.

The more I see, the more it looks as if most of the people in these elevated positions are totally incompetent. So few seem to have any real knowledge of what the hell is going on.
If any of these judges had any concerns about not being fully aware of what they might be required to make decisions on within the FISA process, surely you would think they long ago would have been on a phone or written formal letters to appropriate FISA management to fully brief them.
This all has to be a liberal establishment planned charade, or else something is terribly wrong with their basic competence levels.
I suspect the latter is the case. But does this mean all twelve judges happen to be liberal conspirators.

Because Hillary has Hastert's and Frist's testicles in her Testicle Lockbox.

As a co-equal branch of govenment, the Congress should march those judges up to the hill and expose them publically as leakers and impeach them. They are not above the law in case they forgot.

Agreed.

No hearings, no "whistleblowers" getting congressional immunity.

And as McCarthy says in this article, President Bush should cancel the briefing of FISA judges until and unless they explain their treachery.

I'm stunned at the hubris of these judges .. if the "Chief Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, was briefed" .. that's all that was necessary. The other judges were not going to "rule" on anything to do with the NSA program - THEY DIDN'T HAVE A NEED TO KNOW.

These people are just pitiful. They are the reason why the President kept it a SECRET program because these idiots cannot keep their big mouths shut!

As far as I know, "judges" can still be sent to prison for treason against the U.S. It's time for us to get busy and start sending them. I know Bubba would love to have one of these "judges" as a "cellmate."

Exactly.....Apparently not too many people can keep a secret, and if they can't they should not be in a position to hear them...

The more information we get about the goings on in Washington DC with these pinheads who think they are so special makes me learn to care less if terrorist nuke the place.

Or New York. Or San Fransisco. Or Hollywood. Or...

This is an all-out assault on the Executive Branch coming from many quarters, these judges just being the latest manifestion.

It appears so far that maybe 3 or 4 former FISA judges are involved.That guy who stepped down recently (Robertson?) or more likely was forced out has got to be one of them.

IIRC, the FISA court currently is composed of 11 judges, but until the President knows who is stabbing him in the back, he should cancel his planned briefing of the current court.

"This is an all-out assault on the Executive Branch coming from many quarters, these judges just being the latest manifestion."
I started my reply with similiar wording, then deleted all and took the approach regarding a possible total incompetence being the culprit, well knowing I probably misjudged the judges. As you indicated. It is a put up job in the continueing assults on the POTUS. They hate him with a vengence.

Exactly! When I got my "TOP SECRET" clearance - the buzz word was "need to know". There were only 2 people in my whole office who knew I had the clearance - and one of them was the president of the company - because he was the person I had to deliver the "top secret" messages to.

But .. these dems don't care about "need to know" - they believe they are entitled to know everything. These people are just getting so tiresome!
