Arlen big-noting again, or Arlen undermining the President?

[softwarecreator]

I don't see any talk about impeachment here

Oh puhlease!!!  Has there been a day since he was elected that this wasn't mentioned?

[moonman]

Surely Sen. Specter, there must be some obscure Scottish Law which allows this. Besides, take the Attorney General to task over this, he's the one who gave the go-ahead and said it was legal.

[airborne]

Arlen doing what he does best.

Getting himself more face time.

Just one more volley in the never ending struggle between the legislative and the executive. The three branches are designed to be equal, but the judiciary and congress consider themselves more equal than the executive branch. It is time both are forced to swallow the big reality pill that G.W. has prepared for them.

Specter? He is a disloyal, egoist bastard that forgets who brought him to the dance. That last statement is my entry into the obvious understatement of the day award. Snarlin' is no different than any other of the arrogant pricks that plague us all.

The hearing before the Judiciary Committee should be a hoot since they can only discuss the law and Constitution as it would apply to hypotheticals since the Judiciary Committee does not have the security clearance to discuss the facts. I don't think they can even call anybody from the NSA or CIA and ask them questions (at least in open session) as to what was done.

Gonzalez should explain the law to Spincter in terms the Senator can understand by citing some obscure Scottish law.

[TADSLOS]

A blank check from Abramoff is perfectly acceptable, however...

[Gritty]

I can't wait for the likes of Kennedy, Biden, Feinswine and Schumer to strut their stuff again on live TV. It should be as entertaining as watching them make complete asses of themselves with Judge Alito, but this time they will be sticking up for the likes of Al Qaida and Bin Laden instead of NARAL and Ralph Neas.

This will be good. Please pass the popcorn!

[Waco]

Talk down around the pool hall is that there is an obscure Scottish law that requires the release of the Barrett report. Suck on that, Spec.

[Thebaddog]

Arlen's a deal cutter. My hunch is that W campaigned for him in his last senate run in return for clearing the way for the USSC candidates. But Arlen is talking large before the last deal is done. Can't he stay bought or is there another something else to be done?

<< Arlen big-noting again, or Arlen undermining the President? >>

Snarlin' Arlen is a "Democrat" of the "former" variety.

A RINO, that is, who was a self-serving crook when he "used to be" a "Democrat" and has consistently been a self serving RINO crook ever since!

And is of course indistinguishable from any other "former" [RINO] "Democrat" and is as ever undermining the president.

[dinoparty]

Guess what, Arlen. You don't have a say in the matter. Investigate all you like, but it won't mean anything because, at the end of the day, you are powerless on this issue.

[Bommer]

Sorry but if Bush should be impeached for anything, it should be for supporting that scumbag Specter!

[TheLion]

cBS radio rolled out Al Gore today, to speak about this, in a spot I heard while driving.

He was just about screaming about how corrupt Bush has been.

I also noted cBS didn't have time for any other viewpoint on the matter.

[TAdams8591]

"we're not going to give him a blank check, and just because we're of the same party doesn't mean we're not going to look at this very closely."

NO one thinks the president should have a "blank check" on spying, including the president.

Bush was a FOOL to support Specter over Toomey. What a traitorous pain in the butt Specter is.
