It’s sad to listen to Specter suggest that no one should censure the President because they can’t prove he acted in bad faith.
He’s acting in bad faith now, isn’t he?
John Dean: congress should censure to prove speration of powers
Orrin Hatch: inherent presidential powers…sheesh
Feingold is talking now.
Feingold is talking about a cover-up. And he is also sounds irritated.
Feingold: Mr. Chairman, you didn’t help me draft this resolution but if you want me to add the words ‘bad faith’ into it, let’s slap it right in there.
I will reiterate…A United States Senator has called “Cover Up”. mmm….
Lindsay Graham just made an ass of himself discussing Watergate with John Dean.
How can the citizenry of South Carolina reelect Graham after such a display of ignorance and disrespect for the system? While Dean responded to questions in an appropriate demeanor, Linsey Graham hooted and interrupted his answers until Specter (the Chair) reminded him of good manners. Graham was a JAG lawyer in the Persian Gulf War, but he acts like a B-movie reject, complete with exaggerated grimaces of contempt.

oh dear, don’t even whisper that thought. He’s almost the only champion we have left. I hope he’s careful. I hope he has good people around him looking out. I hope he flies commercial flights.
Oh, and Leahy LEFT?
fucker.
Times are different now. More of us have awakened on necessary levels and are on duty in all sorts of seen and unseen ways. I sense he is quite well protected..
I have bee watching the CSPAN hearing like some of you. Here are three “less than credible witnesses”: Lee Casey – Regan’s Administration – believes in Straussian Philosophy and Wrote apologist article about Guantanamo for the Wall Street Journal – behind a firewall and I cannot access full article. John Schmidt – Clinton’s former Assoc. Attorney General – Media Maters debunked his arguments here Robert Turner – another neocon. The Federalist Society is ALL about neocon philosophy and how to overtake our judiciary system NeoCon Ideology was founded on the teachings of Leo Strauss at University of Chicago. Strauss was… Read more »
Since for all intents and purposes, there’s no current open thread right now, I thought I’d just mention here that Dan Froomkin’s most recent column in the Washington Post gives a special shout out to BooMan’s post, “Waas on Plamegate”: “The blogosphere is abuzz with Waas’s latest revelation. The Booman Tribune blog explains how it is in fact Waas’s ‘magnum opus on the Plame Affair.'”
Just figured people might like to know that.
