Live Blog II by Lurks a lot
Welcome to the sandbox! Joining us today will be several guests, with several panel presentations and of course, our perrenial favorites, and the not so perennial favorites, of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Yes, ladies; that means Whitehouse in da hizzouse!
The hearing is titled
"FISA Amendments: How to Protect Americans’ Security and Privacy and Preserve the Rule of Law and Government Accountability," so I think the panels will be tres interessant...and, of course, it's always wildly entertaining to watch the other side of the aisle contort wildly in defense of all things indefensible.
For the undercaffeinated: telecom immunity debate! Sic 'em Schumer! By order of the Chairman:
