LIVE THREAD: SJC hearing on the NSA surveilance program - C-span 1; 9:30 am EST

Posted on 02/06/2006 6:08:53 AM PST by 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..

"he wants to protect the terrorists by impeaching the President during a time of war

This is what this is all about......"

And campaign contributions from Soros and Lewis.

He didn't say a word when Durgin basically said that professional government workers couldn't be trusted.

I guess they are using the authority under AUMF as a separate justification than the one he has under the Constitution.

The administration has basically raised three arguments. The only one that holds water under intense pressure is the inherent authority argument, countered with the 4th amendment.

The "legal under FISA" argument, which Gonzales is making, stinks to high heaven. It is a poor argument, and I am surprized it is even made.

THe "legal under AUMF" argument is fair, but has a number of foraward-looking weaknesses that I have pointed out above.

Maybe the Republicans are trying to smoke the Democrats out during these hearings. Most of the Democrats are not really scoring any points. In fact, they look pretty lame.



Could be.....but if the rats regain power this fall, they will try to impeach Bush.....and I'm buying another gun, because there will be no security in the US and it will be every man for himself....if we have to rely on them to try to protect us, we are doomed....sorry for the rant...these rats drive me crazy.....

Leahy could be spying on our country. If we knew the truth about these Democrat Senators, most of them would be booted from this committee. They have sided with the enemy.
