Heated hearings LIVE now on C-Span2, 10AM EST! Rethugs VERY defensive.

Chairmain Sensenbrenner is being very rude and attempting to silence the Democrats. It is obvious he is unhappy to be have to listen to the likes of James Zogby. The Republicans are doing the same old "criticism of Dubya's war is treason" crap and are focusing on trashing Amnesty International, of course.

Sensenbrenner just talked over Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee. James Zogby is doing a great job trying to explain that we need to set a better standard so that America can be once again respected in the world.

1. That was disgusting.

Just amazing that they would go to such lengths to stifle discussion. Not that it is a surprise but damn, that was really rude and disgusting behavior.

Rethugs showing their true colors, and they're not red, white and blue.

True patriots question their country when it is not living up to its professed ideals.

3. It's over. Hearing stopped by Sensenbrenner at 10:10AM. Dems carried on

for another 10 minutes. It was terrific.

It will be replayed later, I would imagine and perhaps archived for viewing.

6. Sensenbrenner needs to be removed from Congress

The Dems REALLY need to find an electable replacement for him in 2006. He's become way too rabid - insisted on the Real ID - we can do better than this!

7. How can folks from Wisconsin elect such polar opposites?

Feingold and this turkey!
