A Tribute to the Dems of the House Judicary Committee

[SnoopDog]

We all have been focusing on that piece of filth Sensenbrenner – as we should.

Now is the time to thank OUR leadership in the House Judiciary Committee (in order as how they sat at the hearing):

1. Mr. Conyers – maybe the only person in history to impeach two presidents – we can only hope. That is our goal. A True American Patriot.

2. Mr. Nadler – sorry to say I do not know much about him, however he did is job well and I appreciate that. (Needs to vote more Democratic though…).

3. Ms. Jackson Lee – let her feeling known yesterday about how disgusting the Chair was behaving. Her comments cutting yet distinctly honorable. Another kick ass Patriot.

4. Ms. Wasserman Schultz – heard her a few times on C-SPAN – a hopeful rising star (lets start voting that way however…)

These honorable committee members know how destructive the Patriot Act (or as I have read – the Traitor Act) is to our Constitution and us. They are fighting to protect us.

This administration and the repuk thugs in office are destroying your country. Their unlawfulness and total disrespect of our Constitution is TREASONESS. They represent a rogue government – one that I do not subscribe to.

1. I agree with you !

We must acknowledge and encourage all of these individuals as they did their best yesterday to stand up for real democracy and real freedom and real civil liberties.

I am also thankful to all the witnesses that appeared yesterday.

2. I agree with you 100%

I would point out, however, that Jerrold Nadler and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz have VERY progressive voting records.

3. genuine heroes ... each and every one of them ...

after complaining for so long about so many Democrats lacking any spine at all, it is uplifting to find a crop of Democrats who apparently each possess two ...

their little rebellion yesterday was truly moving ...

4. Hundreds of cities and several states have passed resolutions against

the Patriot Act.

In the past two years, more than 300 cities and four states have passed resolutions calling on Congress to repeal or change parts of the USA Patriot Act that, activists say, violate constitutional rights such as free speech and freedom from unreasonable search and seizure.

The municipal resolutions, crafted individually by each community, vary in language. They affirm, for the most part, that city employees aiding federal authorities in national security investigations will not violate the rights of people under investigation, such as monitoring political and religious gatherings where people are engaging in activities protected by the First Amendment.

Hawaii was the first to pass a statewide resolution, citing the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II as a motivating factor.

Talanian said fewer than five municipalities rejected resolutions brought before them. These included Boston and Petaluma, California, a small town north of San Francisco.
