Leahy is on Morning Edition now.

[cali]

Leahy being interviewed now explaining why he won't back down.

[cali]

1. reiterating that he wants

WH operatives under oath. Says committee will vote to issue subpoenas. Says it doesn't work if not under oath. Asked if Gonzales should resign, says that's up to the WH. Leahy sounded dead serious and absolutely committed in this interview. Not to mention pissed as hell.

2. Yea!!!

President Trainable wants a Constitutional Crisis? I say, let Leahy take it to him.

[wicket]

5. Awesome!!!

:woohoo:

[mediaman007]

3. I think he found the "high ground"

I doubt that the misAdministration can undermine his position. Their track record for honesty is not good.

[cali]

4. He stated absolutely that

the Committee WILL vote to subpoena Rove, Meirs and here Assistant.

[Bucky]

6. I think he needs to fine tune his talking points.

This topic needs a hard sell. Keep it simple and keep repeating "We must have them testify under oath. Why are they trying to avoid taking the oath?" Something like that. They all need to hammer that message nonstop.

[debbierlus]

7. That is right on - keep it simple....Why don't they want to be under oath & why don't they want a

Record?

For accountability to work, it HAS to be documented.

[cali]

8. I'm not worried about his "selling" it- at least not now

I just want them to issue the damn subpoenas.

[PA Democrat]

9. It will be interesting to see how Specter votes.

He has talked tough in the past, but always seems to back down when it comes to a vote.

[MiniMe]

10. Specter is up for re-election in 2008

emails and phone calls will help

[salin]

14. he always buckles to bushco

almost without fail.

[WinkyDink]

17. Let me take a guess (being from PA): He'll vote with Bush, but "to uphold

the principle" that Presidents need "candid advice".

[Fluffdaddy]

11. If the Democrats do cave........... I'm done

They better show a pair all the way to the wall

[kstewart33]

12. Well put, Fluffdaddy. eom

[cali]

13. They aren't caving.

bush's idiot little temper tantrum last night clearly did nothing but stiffen their resolve.

[Fluffdaddy]

15. Well they just better not, or no more money an no more working the polls

from me.

I understood when the GOP had all the power and we were slapped around like red-headed step-kids, all we could do was take it. We "ALL" worked hard getting the Dem's back in power and it's time we do some bitch slapping pay backs.

[cali]

16. I certainly can understand how you feel

and truth be told, I'll breath a lot easier after they've issued those subpoenas tomorrow.

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. It's a good thing the Democrats now have the MAJORITY in the committee!

:7 The subpoenas are a done deal. Go Leahy!
