NAZI TACTIC: Republican aide at hearing yesterday threatens court reporter

[steve2470]

Per Representative Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL), yesterday at the infamous Judiciary committee hearing, a Republican aide threatened a court reporter if he/she did not stop taking notes. This is Germany 1933 all over again.

1. I heard about that

As Rhandi Rhodes said: why do the republicans hate free speech?

9. A court reporter doesn't 'take notes'

A court reporter is a stenographer who makes a verbatim record and transcription of proceedings. In this case, they were making the official transcript of a congressional hearing; to interfere with the court reporter doing their job has got to break at least one law.

6. Althought it would have been wonderful to hear

that she snarled "Get out of my face, you fucking Nazi," she probably wanted to keep her job and complied.

10. just listening now, apparently she did stop nt

4. I'm glad they just kept right on taking the notes.

And scoffed back in their face, that was truly stupid to say you aren't allowed to write a report in a public hearing.

8. Really happy that C-SPAN kept the cameras rolling!

I'm SOOO happy C-SPAN didn't turn the cameras off when a-hole Sensenbrenner walked out. That point & after may end up being the most important of the whole hearing!

14. Has anyone gotten the cspan.org link to work yet?

Or maybe does anyone have another link to the video? I haven't been able to get the cspan link to work at all...
