Good point, but will they have the nerve? I doubt it.

O...K you don't seem to understand about them losing a tremendous amount of power in the congress if it happens and them not wanting that to happen. I understand perfectly well what the consequences are, but for one they're not losing power, they don't have any to lose. <TABLE cellpadding=8 wid

So davad my reply is not worth considering a reply back? I didn't know I was obligated to reply to each comment. There's nothing in your post that I have great issue with althougn I don't think the opposition is just about abortion. But even if it was, how is that not voting their conscience?

Well, that cinches it. He's not a gun freak..definitely not a "real" republican.

But that doesn't stop you from accusing someone of breaking the law. It's not just me, even the completely non partisan Congressional Research Service finds this program inconsistent with the law. It's undeniable that the FISA law have been broken.

O....k Looking back at #11.... Nope still don't see anything that supports your assertion that Dems don't want the DEM senators to filibuster.

I love it how you guys keep going on about "the law", but there is still no proof a "law" was broken. We'll see Democrats believe fighting terrorism is a lawenforcement p

I believe the majority of America believes fighting terrorism is a priority. I agree with you on this. Democrats believe this too. Just do it in a way that is consistent with the laws of this country.

And another thing...the vast majority of dems do NOT want them to filibuster! You going to bust out another lame poll to support this?

Reply to Filibuster Anyone? in Politics JoeUser Forums

There will be "no" filibuster. The dems are shaking in their collective boots! Why would they be "shaking in the boots"? The vast majority of Democrats WANT them to filibuster, even if it gets nuked. Conservatives are always trying to slam Dems for not standing for anything. Even if they get nuked,

Rasmussen Poll on Wiretapping by Matt Stoller This polling data is not a surprise. Sixty-four percent (64%) of Americans believe the National Security Agency (NSA) should be allowed to intercept telephone conversations between terrorism suspects in other countries and people living in the United States.

But I'll agree with you, bumper stickers are a nice little show of support for any cause, but actually getting off our butts and doing something for the cause is the true meaning of support and service. FYI: He was talking about one of his bumper stickers, not a "support the troops" sticke

I love how you guys put that "RINO" label on any Republican who puts his foot in his mouth. What makes him a RINO?

My apologies, I apparently confused Ben Nelson with Bill Nelson. Bill Nelson is NOT a member of the Gang of 14.

Don't Put On a Uniform, Put On a Bumper Sticker in Republican JoeUser Forums

Acoording to GOP Senator Rick Santorum, you don't have to put on a uniform to serve your country. You just have to put one of his bumper stickers on your car; "And yet we have brave men and women who are willing to step forward because they know what's at stake. They're willing to sacrifice their lives for this great country. What I'm asking all of you tonight is not to put on a uniform. Put on a bumper sticker. Is it that much to ask? Is i

Cheap shot? In his own words? he was asking Alito why he could discuss the right of free speech, vs the right of privacy! His own words? Whose own words, Leahy's? Show me where he asked that please.

A filibuster will be unlikely for an election year. Good point.

Reply to Filibuster Anyone? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I forgot to add that Nelson was the only Democrat who voted for ultra conservative Appeals Court Judge, Janice Rogers Brown. With that in mind, a credible case can't be made that he's voting against Alito based solely on his conservative philosphy. I've heard many on the right try to make the case that Dems will automatically vote against any judge who they think would vote to overturn Roe V. Wade, but Brown has never shown anything but conte

Filibuster Anyone? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I still don't think there will be a filibuster, but this news now makes me wonder; One of the most conservative Democrats in the Senate, Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) today announced he would vote no on Judge Samuel Alito Jr.’s confirmation to the Supreme Court -- raising the possiblity of a filibuster, RAW STORY has learned. Just one Democrat has said he'll vote to confirm Alito. Nelson's release follows; WASHINGTON, D.C.

There's lots of information out there that an intelligent and resourceful person like you can find if you want to Ted. I'm not going to reward this ridiculous and inflammatory post with any more replies than I already have. The sort of behavior this "blogger" has exhibited here is exactly the sort of crap that was detailed in the "Snarling Troll" thread last week.

Here is some additional relevant information regarding "probable cause" and "reasonable suspicion"; The first thing that struck me when General Hayden made the ignorant observation that the Fourth Amendment didn't include a probable cause standard was that someone needed to tattoo the Bill of Rights on his chest, backwards, so he could read it every time he looked in the mirror in the morning. The second thing that struck me about his insis

is a bit problematic, isn't it? It would leave the gaping hole wide open as any individual physically situated in the US is a "United States person" as defined by the law. This could mean that if Mohammed Atta were chatting up OBL from DC, as a hypothetical, we'd be precluded from sniffing for it. (i) “United States person” means a citizen of

no vision, no plans, not even a single Idea in the entire party. To call that an exaggeration, would be a gross understatement.

actually they didn't have to even ask. It's automatically added. And while I'm thinking about it. Did you happen to read "all" of what Hayden said? The only ones targeted are clls being made from or to countries with terrorist ties. If it's implicit, then why did they ask? From Tom Daschle; Just before the Senate acted on thi
