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..

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Oh...they can't show us his performance....hmmmm!

[Gritty]

Durbin stepping up for face time before the cameras.

I wonder if the Pajamahideen reporter will get a chance to ask him a real question?

Oops. CSPAN decided to cut away and not embarass Turban.

[tiredoflaundry]

I can understand rigorously debating a point,but the Dem Senators are being down right rude.

[SE Mom]

There is a GOD. C-Span is unable to get the audio for listening to Durbin's Diatribe;)

[Lovergirl]

Huh? where? I have both c-spans on, I don't see DICKIE.

[Primetimedonna]

Was a translation box put under his picture on the screen!!!! LOL

[Peach]

Did they say that? They couldn't show Durbin's performance? I wonder what happened -- maybe he went on a tangent that wouldn't reflect well in Turbin Durban.

"You gotta know how to know, and we don't know. Yannowhudumsayin' yo?"

[Carolinamom]

Feinstein imitated Schumer by calling Gonzales 'General' and used the both 'It's been a long day' and the phrase 'bobbing and weaving'.....can we infer that those were in the DNC talking points and the last 2 being leftovers from the confirmation hearings?

[oceanview]

all our ridicule of the Dems aside (and rightly so). if they win congress back in 2006, they will bring impeachment proceedings against Bush. repeat those words to yourself as many times as it takes to believe it, because its true. if they win congress back in 2006, they will bring impeachment proceedings against Bush.

[sageb1]

I thought this thing was supposed to be over at 5. No?

[Peach]

Definitely, oceanview. We absolutely cannot let the Rats take control of the House.

[Cboldt]

Biden and the RATZ are going to say that the program was/is ineffectual and America is not safer. Because we can't name results.

But that does bring up a question about what to do with information gleaned outside of the "widely recognized" and "established" channels.

The physical search of Ames' residence was open for a legal attack - with the attack not coming because the government had a case otherwise and Ames never went to trial.

[Gritty]

if (Dems) win congress back in 2006, they will bring impeachment proceedings against Bush. repeat those words to yourself as many times as it takes to believe it

I don't need to. I fully believe it.

[confederacy of dunces]

You owe me a keyboard!!

[StarFan]

Ha, Schumer was pre-empted.

[filbert]

C-SPAN shuts Schumer down, tee hee hee . . .

[Howlin]

Fishing. It's not going to happen.

[acsrp38]

Oh My!! will someone please pick me up off the floor?

[shield]

They will not win back nothing...
