That's it. This the last straw. Hearings on the signing statements, the wiretapping, this new story about the data mining or whatever the fuck it is of phone records, must be held immediately!
If they are not actually taking place by early next week - and even that is too long to wait in my opinion - Democrats need to shut down Congress. And not just for a few hours until they get some empty promises. I mean they should shut it down for days, should shut it down until Gonzalez, Hayden, the phone company execs, and whoever else is part of this is on the Hill, their legal toadies in tow, ready to answer questions - UNDER OATH!
It's simple. Either the constitution is operative or it isn't. If Republicans are so sure this issue is "a winner," let them jam the saber further into their own guts. Democrats need to go to whatever extremes they can to get answers.
