Senselessbrenner hearing on C-SPAN now!!

[AntiCoup2K4]

At least on the West Coast it is!

[Sparkly]

1. East Coast, too!!

Great -- I want to see the whole thing!! This is NOT to be missed.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Midwest, too.

Gotta see this!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Here he goes...

What a pompous, neckless douche.

[Todd B]

4. Be warned...

I saw the whole thing earlier tonight.

I warn you, you may feel the urge to put your fist through the television. Proceed with caution. *eg*

I guess the new motto of the Republican Party is that if you don't like something, just don't talk about it and it will go away.

[AntiCoup2K4]

5. Geezus, what a vile asshole

Is he always this bad?

[RoyGBiv]

6. That man has no fucking neck!!!

Must be a criminologist.

[AntiCoup2K4]

7. "Erected strawmen"???

I didn't think strawmen could do that. Did he give them Viagra?

[zulchzulu]

8. As a Wisconsin resident, I feel obligated to...

..make sure the fat bastard loses in 2006.

He's not representing me in my district, but he certainly deserves my attention to make sure he's knocking down a bigass bag of cheese curds a day to clog his heartless heart because his fat ass was handed to him on Election Day.

He deserves the Nazi Award for being a Nazi (for all things) the Patriot Act. What a fat, inane lout.

All you DUers can expect me to diss the fuckwad in his face whenever I get the chance.

[Sydnie]

9. It can also be viewed anytime here

This is the headline on that page --

Democracy thwarted at Judiciary Committee Hearing on the Patriot Act
Chairman silences Democrats at a hearing on the Patriot Act by cutting the microphones



WATCH THE VIDEO HERE (Adjourns illegally around 1:50:00)

Go Debbie Wasserman Schultz Go!!!

[Gronk Groks]

10. Damn, I'm doing a swing shift in Vegas...

...and no one at home to record it. Someone give me a play by play, or at least a summary....PLEASE!!!!:dilemma:

[Sparkly]

11. I can't believe he's ignoring Sheila Jackson Lee!!

I wish she and the whole Congressional Black Caucus will raise HELL over this!! (They've got more spine than any group in Congress!)

[Stand and Fight]

12. This is nuts....

An absolute breakdown in civility. Democrats everywhere should be outraged. This is the shit the turncoats like Richardson, Lieberman, and others should be attacking rather than our party chair, Dr. Howard Dean. The temerity of this bastard... Just completely ignoring Rep. Jackson-Lee... Nuts.

[Erika]

17. The GOP were so ultra sensitive to Judge Brown

but were utterly rude to Jackson-Lee.

[Pithy Cherub]

13. Zogby is very eloquent

about the impact of American hubris.

I sent this information to my family in Wisconsin (said beware of stupid person outside of Milwaukee) and I told them he was an embarrassment to Democracy, embodied the worst of what Congress and he only had two brain cells that would never connect due to no energy in his oversized head. Then I became angry...

[Coexist]

14. Update with good info from BradBlog

<snip>
EARLY EVENING UPDATE: The BRAD BLOG has now been able to identify the previously unidentified staffer who hit the "kill switch" on the microphones while Rep. Jerrold Nadler was speaking (see photo above). That thoughtful gentleman and statesman was Majority Counsel for the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, Robert Tracci. He's seen at right receiving an award from the American National Standards Institute, though no doubt today was his proudest moment.

15. That was horrendous ...

I've been watching C-Span for years, and that is one of the most absurd things I have ever seen come from either the House or the Senate.

Props to the Democrats who would not be silenced.

[Douglas Carpenter]
