The Judiciary Committee used a Republican Party figure, Alberto's predecessor Ashcroft to whip his ass. What a spectacle. How did Alberto ever think that he could go and argue law with eminent legal figures on the Judiciary Committee?

Here's what Chrissy poo the Bush hating moron heard.... Gonzalez the torture poster child just told Congress.... THAT GEORGE WASHINGTON USED ELECTRONIC SURVIELLANCE IN A WIDESPREAD MANNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1776 there was NO ELECTRICITY.... AHAHAHAHAHAHHA....but it's not funny...No one on the panel SAID ANYTHING...well almost nothing some opening statement....they will DO ANYTHING TO LIE AND GET THIS UNDER THE RUG Here's what AG Gonzales actually said (reference to Washington bolded): First and foremost, the program is consistent with our Constitution. Under Article II, the President has the duty and the authority to protect America from attack. Article II also makes the President, in the words of the Supreme Court - quote - "the sole organ [of government] in the field of international relations." Nor is this just the view of the courts. Presidents throughout our history have authorized the warrantless surveillance of the enemy during wartime. And they have done so in ways far more sweeping than the narrowly targeted terrorist surveillance program authorized by President Bush. General Washington, for example, instructed his army to intercept letters between British operatives, copy them, and then allow those communications to go on their way. President Lincoln used the warrantless wiretapping of telegraph messages during the Civil War to discern the movements and intentions of opposing troops. President Wilson in World War I authorized the military to intercept each and every cable, telephone and telegraph communication going into or out of the United States. During World War II, President Roosevelt instructed the government to use listening devices to learn the plans of spies in the United States. He also gave the military the authority to review, without warrant, all telecommunications, quote, "passing between the United States and any foreign country." The far more focused terrorist surveillance program fully satisfies the reasonableness requirement of the Fourth Amendment. news.findlaw.com I want to thank Chrissy poo for clearly demonstrating the ugly nature of an untreated case of BDS. Let's all hope that Chrissy poo gets the help he so desparately needs. I'll say a prayer for him.... J.
