PELOSI: "The Pres has nothing to offer (the American people) BUT fear.” |
|
Pelosi, “The President knows full well he has all the authority he needs… we understand the value of collecting intelligence… we know the Pres has the authority he needs to protect the American people… we have two concerns, one is retractive community… the other is exclusivity…”We have nothing to fear, but fear itself but the Pres has nothing to offer (the American people) BUT fear.”
now on CSPAN, 11:05 pst

she talked about it not being a Democratic/Republican thing, but the business of the people's Congress and of protecting the Constitution, and that if a Democratic White House had done the same thing, she would have been taking these same measures.
