Presidental authority and NSA town hall meeting NOW on cspan

[rodeodance]

[Greeby]

1. John Dean is on the panel

:popcorn:

[speedoo]

2. Professor Tribe is dismantling the "inherent power" claims.

Kalb is the moderator. It will be interesting to see whether anyone argues that Tribe is wrong. I think Tribe concluded his argument that claiming such inherent powers is a "no brainer impeachable offense".

On edit: recommended, this is must see.

5. Tribe testified at the Alito hearing also-AGAINST Alito

[speedoo]

3. So far, no one supports the NSA program.

Only one panelist has not yet spoken, I think.

4. Not surprising, though, since this is an ACLU sponsored meeting

[liveoaktx]

6. Romero talking about why ACLU has "standing" to bring the case

SCOTU has an expansive view of standing.

7. John Dean and the rule of law

worse than watergate, only hope in 2006 the lightbulb goes (in the american people) off that this isn't the way the country is run

12. This will repeat tonight on C-Span - I think they said

9 PM eastern time.

Worth seeing, although a couple of the panelists seemed to think BushCo is just trying to protect the country, not ripping up the Constitution as they go.
