House Defies Bush on Wiretaps

This morning we are significantly less safer than we were yesterday. Good job House Dummycrats! Enjoy your vacation ! OBL is charging up his cell phone as we speak.

At least the Senate Dems acted responsibly . In a Senate controlled by the Democrats, the bill passed by an overwhelming 2-to-1 margin. To attract such numbers, the Bush administration compromised on critically important issues of executive power and expansion of the FISA court’s role.Both sides compromised because they understood that failing to preserve current surveillance authority, would endanger the United States.

Sadly the circus Madam Mimi runs was more interested in if Roger Clemens was getting kickapoo joy juice injections. The term 'useful idiots 'comes immediatley to mind.

I think it is time to ruin their vacation :

Article 2 Sec 3 US Constitution
Day by day they have proven to be completely incompetent in running Congress in a responsible manner.

Hello tom:

Why would that be? You're not telling me that they stopped, are you? You're not telling me that they CARE about the law, are you??? Nahhh, you know them better than that.

And, what's the worst thing that could happen? They'll need to get a warrant until they get their bill. Oh my gosh. A warrant. Geez, they don't wanna mess around with no warrant.....

So, they're gonna let OBL talk away on his cell phone so Bush can blame the Democrats if he decides to attack. That is the kind of a$$backwards thinking the dufus in chief does.

Hello again, tom:

I know you don't like the law. There's a few I don't like either. So what? Here, in this great nation of ours, we can't pick and choose which ones we're gonna obey. Your dufus ain't no exception.

yeah well now there is no statutory authority to monitor foreign terrorists at all. Smart move Pelosi !!! There is no legal intelligence gathering on OBL ;who has no right to American privacy protection at all ,as of today .

The Senate bill for all it's flaws was better than no bill at all.

The sad thing about it is that every court to rule on the issue ; including the court created by Congress strictly to rule on surveillance matters, the Foreign Intelligence Court of Review, has concluded that the president has inherent constitutional authority to order surveillance on foreign threats to national security.

At this point the President SHOULD tell Congress that until they get their heads out of Clemen's butt that he will exercise his Article II powers to protect the country . Like I said ....call them back into session and demand from them responsible legislation like the Senate produced on this matter .

Hello again, tom:

I never thought the steroid thing was a partisan issue. But, I thought wrong. Apparently, the Republicans think it's just fine and dandy that Clemen's is a cheater........ Which, upon reflection, shouldn't surprise me at all.

Like I said, your dufus in chief isn't listening to congress. You, yourself say that he has Constitutional authority. You're not telling me he hung up, are you???

No, tom. You just want to rant about the Democrats who are about take over all THREE branches of government. I guess they're gonna do that because the dufus in chief did such a wonderful job...... Bwa, ha ha ha ha.

I'm not sure that's accurate Tom. Didn't Clinton long ago extend the "organized crime wiretap rules" to terrorist.

Geez, how hard is it for the PREZ, to get a warrant for gosh sakes. He just makes a call, and they fax it over, like yesterday. Do we need a law for that???
