FINALLY-Leahy to subpoena warrantless wiretapping docs.

[kpete]

Leahy to subpoena warrantless wiretapping docs.The Senate Judiciary Committee has scheduled a business meeting on Thursday to authorize subpoenas for any legal opinions and advice the Bush administration has received regarding the NSA’s domestic spying program. Politico reports, “Under Judiciary Committee rules, Republicans can postpone the vote on the subpoena authorizations for a week, but Democratic insiders don’t expect Leahy will have any problem gaining approval for the subpoenas at that time.”

UPDATE: Last week, the Justice Dept. refused Leahy’s request to voluntarily turn over domestic surveillance documents for the ninth time.

5. NINTH TIME?? Good God, what the hell's the matter with Leahy,

anyhow?

I'm with you: Lock these bastards up.

2. And when they ignore the subpoena, will Leahy do anything about it?

I'm getting tired of the investigations, the accusations, the stern words, the subpoenas that are ignored, etc. When will the Dems actually *DO* something that will make a difference and shut down these criminals?

12. Nothing will be done. NOTHING.

So I'm a cynic. I'm willing to be proven wrong on this- I simply don't believe I will be. :shrug:

3. allow me the 4th rec. Let's hope they don't let this go another 9 tries.

Hand em over or start indictments. Enough, already.

He just had to deal with his constituents and got an earful of fire and brimstone from them!

6. I'm beginning to sense a pattern here

Please Mr. Leahy, it's time to take off the gloves with these criminals. They are acting like the laws are not meant for them. Take them to school.

10. Who's to ensure the lyin' criminal bunch of scumbags are going to comply?

HMMM? :silly:

[L. Coyote]

11. Boy, are they ever wishing they had voted otherwise on Bush v. Gore now!

[WinkyDink]

13. Every investigation reminds me of Wimpy: "We'll question them next Tuesday for a subpoena

today."
It's like I'm always saying, "I should live so long."
