And why not, LIB. You think Pelosi is more of a man than Reid.

If the Democrats don''''t stand up to the relentless erosion of our constitutional protections, they risk being swept from power at the next election.

True, they only have a few more months to totally destroy and humilate this country--I don''t think they''re quite finished yet!

This article makes it clear that if the Democrat majority in the senate had anything at all to prosecute the president with this would not have passed. Furthermore, it proves the rhetoric the Dems spew in order to placate the screaming child leftwing of their party is nothing more than a political pascification as the allegations obviously contain no factual basis.

Frankly I think the problem is American''''s simply don''''t pay attention & don''''t press their representives on the issue.

The bill is S.2248 and the controversial section (or one of them) is sec.202. The media never give the details; I guess they are afraid we''d check things out for ourselves. Google "FISA Amendments Act of 2007." The Select Intelligence Committee reported the version with phone company immunity in sec. 202 by a bipartisan 15-2 vote; what appears to have been rejected today was the Judiciary Committee''s substitute measure reported out by a narrow 10-9 vote. Roll call votes in Congress are usually reported within 24 hours, so that it is possible to see who voted how.

I''m curious, is there a separate secret agreement for Senate supporters of Telecom immunity (all Republicans and most supporters of Hillary Clinton) that their phones and emails will not be recorded and analyzed?

Or maybe there is a secret agreement that nothing nasty will be done with that info.

That kind of an agreement could be good for Hillary and friends.

But will it last past the Democratic Convention.

I wonder.

jncc1701,,,, This legislation does absoultly nothing that existing laws didn''t already do

-- That was also on CSPAN & the director of the CIA & the FBI counldn''t respond to that.. They sat there & looked totally stupid... -- Dems are indeed challenging them as republicans continue to avoid the issues

Frankly I think the problem is American''s simply don''t pay attention & don''t press their representives on the issue.

It may be a waste of time but this law needs to be challenged in court. I cannot imagine that any Congress has the authority to basically suspend the 4th and 14th Amendments.
The Democratic party has descended to a new low.

notblue,,,, CSPAN is not slanted media or left wing media ---- You hear the arguments directly from all the people in charge of this War on Terror & many more ------ It''s real news in your face as it happens.

You want to believe in the rhetoric of ideaology, them go ahead ------ I prefer the news directly from the top sources in our government & Pentagon.

jwhitman, are you really naive enough to believe tthat cspan is the endall regarding Americas defense capabilities????? There are things none of us know, what we do know could wipe the bad guys "off the map", get a grip man! If the enemy of freedom in the modern world, namely Islamic radicalism, attempted to detonate or even succeeded in another attack that took American lives on a grand scale do you think are response would be as reserved an humane as we have been in the past? If so then you sir are a fool, the enemy has not yet experienced the TRue capability of the American fighting machine and heaven help them if it is unleashed. your false agenda driven rhetoric shows just how gullible and naive you truly are, just keep drinking the move.on kool-aide you loser.

,,, Article 14 of Iraq''s new constitution, approved in a nationwide referendum held on October 15, states that Iraqis are equal before the law "without discrimination because of ***." Yet the constitution also states that no law can be passed that contradicts the "established rulings" of Islam. For this reason, the new document has been condemned by critics both inside and outside Iraq as a fundamental setback for a majority of Iraq''s population -- namely, its women. According to Isam al-Khafaji, an Iraqi scholar, the document "could easily deprive women of their rights." Yanar Muhammad, a leading secular activist and the head of the Organization of Women''s Freedom in Iraq, worries that the Islamic provision will turn the country "into an Afghanistan under the Taliban, where oppression and discrimination of women is institutionalized."

Notblue,,,, If you have access to CSPAN, I would strongly suggest you turn it on once in awhile... You would hear it from our own Secretary of Defense

WASHINGTON - The U.S. military isn''t ready for a catastrophic attack on the country, and National Guard forces don''t have the equipment or training they need for the job, a commission charged by Congress reported Thursday.
