On friday, march 31, 2006, the senate judiciary committee had a hearing on censuring President Bush for spying on americans without warrants. Out of the 8 democrats on the committee, only 2 attended. They were Feingold and Leahy. The other 6 who did not attend were Durbin, Schumer, Feinstein, Kohl, Biden, and Kennedy. After all the president has done and all the complaining by the democrats, for them not to show was a disgrace! Where the democrats stand regarding Bush's illegalities is extremely hard to understand. When Clinton was impeached, if I remember correctly, some democrats voted for it. What Clinton did was nothing compared to how Bush has broken the law. Why aren't the democrats standing with Senator Feingold or Rep. Conyers? The spin surrounding this matter is ridiculous. It is so obvious that Bush broke the FISA law. What I would like to know is who else is he spying on? Bush and his gang would not be able to stop from spying on their adversaries. Just like Nixon spied on the democrats. Senator Cornyn was a nasty ass. His behaviour towards John Dean was disgusting. He should read Dean's book. He might learn something. When the republicans don't have anything to add, they attack and Cornyn was a fine example of that tactic. I thought Senator Specter might be fair, but I guess that was a joke. President Bush must be held accountable for his illegal behaviour. There are no other options!!!
