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..

[Gritty]

I'm not sure just what (Biden) considers himself:...

I vote for,... 4)Total Jerk!

[A Citizen Reporter]

I've been gone since the lunch break. Is this Lindsay's first round of questioning?

[filbert]

DEM FOIA request: regarding the NSA program.

So, how do you write up "it's classified, morons, go pound sand" into six pages of legal/bureaucratese?

[Not A Snowbird]

Of course they will. That's why they can't be allowed to win back the house. Not now, not ever.

[Txsleuth]

Unfortunately, no.

[BigSkyFreeper]

It could be titled "Biden's Excedrin Moment"

[Cboldt]

Graham asks "Is FISA an unconstitutional intrusion on the President's inherent power?"

Gonzales' answer was that, if so, the determination of the constitutionality of any given surveillance becomes more difficult. Duh. That's the nub of the hearing.

[Peach]

I can't stand Graham either, txsleuth. He's so wishy washy that he's useless.

[Carolinamom]

Graham is interested in what McCain is interested in. Got it?

[maggief]

No, and I misplaced my 'Rat to English dictionary.

[sageb1]

"what is it with this TORTURE and Graham??? "

I didn't think torture was supposed to be the focus of these hearings.

[Peach]

Yup. Got it and hate it.

[tiredoflaundry]

I guess he is looking for a VP nod from Mc Lame?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

if they win congress back in 2006, they will bring impeachment proceedings against Bush.

Will that fear be enough to bring out all of the Conservatives that are unhappy with aspects of the Bush administration....that is the question!!!

[Carolinamom]

I heard Carter blandly tell Larry King that "We won the 2000 election."

[Gritty]

I didn't think torture was supposed to be the focus of these hearings.

It certainly feels like it from my keyboard!

[small voice in the wilderness]

Graham must be wearing his (D) Underroos today.

[Mike Darancette]

I think Graham finally got the answer he wanted. Not fair to troops who are not lawyers.

[maggief]

And YOU know what I'm talkin' about. :)

[hipaatwo]

Dear Sir;

STFU


Sincerely,
NSA
