That’s where my frustration lies, too. I’m watching these hearings and see some strength (Gowdy mostly), but am not seeing any results. Just some hand-slapping and “we musdt never let this happen again” kind of thing. Maybe I’m too inpatient? I just don’t understand the purpose of all of these theatrics if the administration is just going to give all of them the bird anyway.

Actually by refusing to say no, he was saying yes.

Yes, was his answer.

When Roberts wrote his opinion regarding obamacare, that was my exact reaction. Roberts has a strong history of sound constitution decisions. Therefore, I believed someone got to him about a personal issue that would be exposed.

The weasel word here will be the one used by Kirk, spy. To spy can be very narrowly defined to permit Holder to say there was/is no spying. Yet surveillance, observation, listening will occur and will.do so behind the “that’s not spying” facade.

Holder assured Kirk that “there is no intention to do anything of that nature — that is, to spy on Members of Congress or to spy on the Supreme Court.”

This way when it's inevitably unveiled that exactly this event happened, Holder can claim it wasn't 'intentional'.

It wasn't their "intent" to "spy" on Congress, - they were merely engaging in the process of collecting "data" from a variety of sources.

Simple.

Anyone still in doubt whose side the Obama administration in on?

This beats the Gestapo, Stazi and NKVD hands down..

It is like a new description is required to describe filth that calls itself American and holds office and operates under the flag of the Left and the enemies within.

Yep.

Look how he testified that he had never been in involved with the potential prosecution of journalists; - then it turns out that he personally signed the warrant for James Rosen.

They have no intention to do anymore pissing in the wind ( at the moment...but give them time).

Better weasel words were never spoken.

Question..... would the NSA and CIA have different ultimate loyalties? Maybe its wishful thinking but I’m beginning to sense a titanic power struggle happening behind the scenes of this administration.... I pray there are some good people left in some of these agencies that can bring down these unholy tyrants before its too late.

This administration acts like it can do whatever it wants and get away with it because the media will provide cover as it has with all the scandals so far. I pray that the day that cover ceases will arrive soon with the IRS scandals and these crooks will get what is coming to them.
