17. That hearing room and ALL the government buildings in DC ...
belong to us, the people of the United States! We elected those Dems to represent us! If they are not going to be allowed to participate in the United States government, then that means we, their constituents, are not being represented by the United States government - so why are we paying taxes??? THEY ARE LOCKING US OUT OF PARTICIPATION IN OUR OWN GOVERNMENT!!! :grr: :grr: :grr:

4. They are limiting the testimony that goes on in the committee.
The court reporter was threatened, he cut her mike and then he cut the C-SPAN coverage!!!! C-SPAN was shocked. They had never seen anything like it. What Sensenbrenner did was ILLEGAL!!!

10. man oh MAN!!!
I/m listening, too.

can this be the America our parents taught us about?

NOW tell me these monsters, especially Sensenbrenner and his ilk, are NOT Fascists of the first order

can you imagine the outcry if dems had tried to pull this?

Going to be watching the MSM evening news in one minute to see what, if any, coverage there is of this

this should be BIG BIG news

26. Sensenbrenner is a pig!
I don't have a lot of contact with Republicans but even with my friends who all vote democratic, when I use the term "creeping fascism" their eyes glaze over.

I don't think they see the danger. I don't think they are aware that men like the Bushistas and Sensenbrenner have ideas that they think are more important than democracy as we know it. Since all my predictions have come true though (things that are common around here) they're not telling me to go away either.

I hope we can reach enough people to make a difference by the 2006 elections, and give Bush the kind of Congress he deserves.

28. Funny, I sorted through a lot of words...
and that kept on coming up. It's an abbreviation for fascist pig, but some people have a low tolerance for that word.

22. sheila jackson lee also on randis show. she said she "will be punished"
for certain because of what happened today (she and other dems stood up as best they could against sensenbrenners maneuver)

sjl said that anything they try to get going in judiciary committee now will not get heard and dems will likely have to have their own hearings!

how outrageous is this?

25. Where??? Sensenbrenner will not ALLOW them to use the hearing room
anymore! We should have known shit like this would happen after the fucking repukes called the POLICE on our Dems who wanted to sit in on a Ways and Means committee meeting and Bill Thomas didn't want them there so he called the fucking Capital POLICE! Remember???!!! These people are NUTS!!!

may be what she was saying. i just heard her say they will have to
have their own hearings which could be interpreted as they cant convene as a committee. so dems will have to convene on their own

but she is steadfast and nadler sounded that way as well. sometimes sadly it takes this kind of egregious act against democracy for things to blow up and be set back towards sanity
people like sjl and henry waxman and john conyers etc give me hope. they can only go so far over the line and people get shocked into action

29. They don't want to show the abuses of our Civil Liberties pertaining
to to the Patriot Act. They don't want us to know these things. Most of these sessions have been behind closed doors. I have said this since week before last, this is what we should be worried about...
