I'm off to run errands - who wants to start the next thread if it's needed?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

1. Bayh up (D)

[Sydnie]

2. I got you covered Viva

Be safe!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

3. Thanks Syd! no worries...

I'm not really running, more like a slow walk downtown. :)

[LSK]

4. i keep hearing "I am not a lawyer"

What is so fucking hard about looking up a few laws and reading?!?! :shrug:

[Sydnie]

5. We don't need to ammend FISA

we need them to follow FISA as written ... damnit Bayh. Get your head out of your ass!

[spanone]

6. Bayh is a wimp. The Democrats should be OUTRAGED. I sense nothing.

I don't get a sense that anyone is DC is looking out for you and I.

[Sydnie]

7. It certainly made it sound like he was willing to let

by gones be by gones. Just rewrite the law and forget that they ever broke it in the first place!

[dogday]

14. He needs comb his hair next time

he knows he is going to be on tv.. He had this one little piece that went a different direction than the rest of his hair :rofl:

[dogday]

15. Feingold asked him if he ever said in open or closed

session that if he had this program, he could of prevented 9-11???

[napi21]

10. In a bit of fairness, don't all these guys depend on either DOJ or some

attorney in their group to tell them what's legal and what's not?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

8. out the door kick

I see they're on the second round... anything good?

[Sydnie]

9. No, they cut it from 20 minutes to 5

Fast food nation that we are ... can't give REAL time to discuss something so important, can they?

[LSK]

11. heaven forbid they come back tomorrow

:grr:

[dogday]

12. Feingold up again

[Sydnie]

13. Feingold back up

asking about "if program existed before it could have prevented" ... hayden says he didn't say that the 911 commission. Said they could have identified yes, but not necessarily prevent. Did I hear that correctly?

[Sydnie]

16. Holy shit

He is planning on just filling the seat! He is going to do what the DOD wants, as they do them, and make sure that this (envision hi making circles on the table) thing "walks like a duck and quacks like a duck".

He is going to be a lackey!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

17. I can't stand how Hayden keeps talking about The War. Why doesn't anyone

ask when this Made Up Endless War will end? I think that should be the first thing on the agenda for our Democratic controlled House and Senate in 2009.

[Sydnie]

18. Wyden back up

American people think we can do both, fight terrorism and protect rights, but they don't see any checks and balances going on.

[Sydnie]

19. Off to closed session now

and we shall never hear of these hearings again. :sarcasm: Sad, but true I fear.

Callers coming up now though.

[LSK]

20. callers

"Amazed at the number of CSPAN callers claiming to be former Intelligence officers"

:rofl:
