Does Bush’s new surveillance program help explain the subtle retreat on FISA by the Republicans in Congress?
The Bush administration said yesterday that it plans to start using the nation’s most advanced spy technology for domestic purposes soon, rebuffing challenges by House Democrats over the idea’s legal authority.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said his department [...]
What relevance or significance might the Supreme Court ruling against the Justice Department in the William Jefferson bribery case have on lawmakers’ claims they could not expose Bush’s breaking of FISA laws because they would be violating the law?
The Court denied a Justice Department appeal of a lower court ruling that the FBI raid of [...]
A rare moment in time. The press actually contrasts a statement President Bush made with facts and within 24 to 48 hours.
Too many spam bots, etc. I just now saw this. Not sure what it all means yet, but the good news is (or seems to be on a cursory basis), the House did not kowtow to C-Plus Augustus on this round of the FISA bill.
Things may change this afternoon, but…
After its first secret [...]
After a lengthy debate on the budget, the House has moved on to debating FISA, but have not voted yet.
The Decider began the day properly on the South Lawn and delivered his standard dose of fear-mongering before any FISA-related activity. The President graciously and with all due respect, informed the People that House leaders dumped [...]
The House will vote on FISA Thursday. FDL and Glenn Greenwald are coordinating vote-related efforts
The Supreme Court refused today to hear an appeal filed by the ACLU and others challenging the Bush administration’s warrantless wiretapping program.
The terrorists invaded the Heritage Foundation’s spelling checker. Notice how they spelled “extension” on their FISA Overtime Clock.
This is one of the best challenges I’ve heard yet to Bush’s fear-mongering certain death to us all at the stroke of midnight.
The The Right-Wing Fear-Mongers at the Heritage Foundation have a FISA countdown clock posted on the front page of their web site.
Bush held a bicameral fear-mongering strategy session today with Republican leaders to develop new fear-mongering rhetoric
Keith Olbermann (MSNBC Countdown) blasted George Bush tonight by calling him a fascist and a liar in a Special Comment on FISA and telecom amnesty.
Expressing outrage, Olbermann said, “If you believe in the seamless, mutuality of government and big business, come out and say it. There is a dictionary definition. One word that describes that [...]
Rep. Rush Holt succinctly explains the serious consequences of acquiescing to the fear-mongering demands of George Bush and the GOP Members of Congress to implement the FISA bill passed by the Senate yesterday (S. 2248).
I’m sure Rep. Holt will be faced with incredible retribution from the White House, the Terrorepublicans in Congress, the Sellout Democrats, [...]
The GOP spin machine is in full force with its fear-mongering trying to convince Americans they will die if Congress does not pass the FISA bill the President wants before the extensions to FISA expire this week. Nothing could be further from the truth. It’s all grandstanding to insure Congress grants amnesty to [...]
The rhetoric over granting amnesty to the telecom companies yesterday is intense to say the least. And I for the most part, side with those that are mad as hell with the Sellout Democrats. That notwithstanding, Atrios makes a notable point about the Sellout Democrats and their motives.
While one can’t discount legalized [...]
