Just imagining such a thing is frightening. Their naked lust for power is both disgusting and dangerous.

[Txsleuth]

This woman is mad that Bush didn't TELL Americans before this report came out...that he felt he had these powers...

PUH-leeeze...it was a SECRET CLASSIFIED program!!!

She is saying is is ABSURD that this was supposed to be kept clandestine...?????

[Mo1]

Nadler is up next .. Gosh Conyers is such a slooooooooooooow talker

[Mo1]

Nadler is saying that anyone that went along with this act of the Presidents, also committed a crime

Hmmmmm .. wonder what Pelosi, Harmon, Reid and Rockefeller would say about that ... because they too went along with it

[p23185]

This guy wrote the "Puzzle Palace" in 1982, telling all he could dig up on the NSA and how it operates.

[half-cajun]

Am I hearing this correctly? Is Turley actually pushing for impeachment?

[Txsleuth]

Is Turley saying this is a "textbook" crime for an impeachment case????

OMG!!!

[p23185]

Finally!! A balanced venue where this can be discussed in a nonpartisan way.

This is nothing more than John Conyers and his LLL base whipping up some more vile anger for their base with the ultimate goal of Impeach Bush and Cheney and Impeach and Demand Censure for Bush-Cheney Misconduct

[Mo1]

Yep .. earlier he spoke about the President committed a crime that normally would put someone in jail for 5 years or more

[spectre]

Sort of...didn't you see the look of pure joy on Nadler's face when Turley finished?

I'll never again say another nice word about Jonathan Turley. Never.

[p23185]

I thought it would translate Conyers' web site into Arabic (which would be quite fitting, eh?) but it didn't work!

Boy that would be great if someone could do it - use this page Demand Censure for Bush-Cheney Misconduct

[Carolinamom]

I am convinced that only another 9/11 will convince this crowd that we are at war. Even then, they would accuse President Bush of not preventing a 2nd disaster.

What part of the War Powers do they not understand? Any American in contact w/terrorists has forsaken any claim to the right to privacy and free speech. He has cast his lot w/our enemies.

[Mo1]

Is Turley saying this is a "textbook" crime for an impeachment case????

YEP .. because Turley thinks his terrorist clients has more rights then American People do to live

[ken5050]

Nadler just said that if the Dems ever take control..look out...

[Mo1]

I am convinced that only another 9/11 will convince this crowd that we are at war. Even then, they would accuse President Bush of not preventing a 2nd disaster

If this country is ever attacked again and thousands more are murdered ??

The American people won't give one bleep about privacy rights ..

Their only thought will be to hunt the murders down and kill them

[half-cajun]

And this Fein guy just said that they need to get this out of the beltway so it won't be one party against the other. Then why in the world is he appearing at this hearing where no Rep. is present? What an imbecile.

[p23185]

That is not going to work.

Never say never! The LLL base has a following and if they could just get the "normal people" to understand what King George has done, and is doing to the country they hope everyone will jump on their impeachment bandwagon. Bin Laden has certainly been listening to their prattle and reading their websites, and reading our MSM.

[Txsleuth]

Well...last night on Brit's roundtable...both Fred Barnes and Mort Kondrake...said that Bush hasn't acted FAST ENOUGH in dealing with Iran...

so..there you go...from Bush overstepping after 9/11...to Bush not stepping up after 9/11.

THEY don't care that 9/11 happened.....until another attack...and then, it will be WHY did Bush let another attack happen???

[Mo1]

Nadler just said that if the Dems ever take control..look out...

Which is why the American Voters voted them out of office

They controled the House for 40 years and the America people said .. no more

[p23185]

Turley REALLY hurt himself by showing up at this joke of a hearing

Actually they are propably quite comfortable with this basement arrangement because this give the skank Rhodes three hours to whine and b$tch about how the Repubs deny the minority a real hearing - again "the checks and balances are not working - Bush must be impeached and we must take back Congress if you want your country back and continue to have unlimited abortions".
