CNN - Deal between WH and Republican Senators to stop an

[Pirate Smile]

investigation of the NSA domestic spying. Roberts made the "Agreement" with the WH.

Includes an agreement to 1. make this program legislatively OK; and 2. more briefings for Congress.

Well, yippy. Everything is OK now.

It is the Intelligence Committee.

1. fitzgerald, PLEASE

hurry the fuck up.

[Avalux]

2. I knew this would happen.

In the end, Bush will just get more power handed to him with no accountability. Republican senators are traitors - instead of doing their jobs as they've sworn to do - they're lapdogs for the WH. Disgusting.

[leftchick]

3. I hate Pat Roberts

the fucking enforcer in the Senate for the WH criminals. Where's phase II pat???

:argh:

[bullimiami]

4. lesson learned from hitler. make everything legal.

[atreides1]

5. So they break the law and get away with it

Well I guess they didn't break the law after all. Hopefully the Democrats step up and filibuster any bill that makes this legal, but then again, they must keep their powder dry!!!!!

[BOSSHOG]

6. And the ignorant lemmings

will cheer. We don't need no stinking investigation. bush is a good christian just like Senator Roberts. Fuck a bunch of pansy democrats and their whining about the constitution. Besides the president says the constitution is just a fucking piece of paper. And so what if any law changes now won't make the evil right back then. Let us wave our flag and show off our magnets, we are fucking "conservatives" and we won.

[DearAbby]

7. Just proves that everyone knows they VIOLATED THE LAW!!!

and they had to patch it up to make it now legal...hammer home THEY VIOLATED THE LAW! They had to make a fix.

The enemy is DOMESTIC.

[pinto]

8. Predictable.. fwiw - Hope Roberts has to bring this to the full Senate and

not merely "close the deal" in committee....fwiw.

:mad:

9. The investigation of NSA spying program should NOT become

a political issue.

What is wrong with these people?

Why are the Republicans doing nothing other than carrying water for this administration?

Politics should not be a part of this. That is short-sighted and dangerous for our country!

As a mother (and hopefully, one day, a grandmother), I am truly concerned about the country we are leaving to future generations.

[magellan]

10. This really makes me wonder

Because if all was as it should be, the inevitability of a Dem President having all this power one day SHOULD be making these bastards think twice....

[_testify_]

12. 'if all was as it should be'...

that about sums it up.

You've got to wonder if we'll ever get to choose our leader again...

[mmonk]

11. It's good to know the White House

and the Senate can make a deal to illegally spy on citizens.

[Strawman]

13. if there's a proposed new law legitimizing this

the Senate Dems better fucking filibuster that.

[rumpel]

14. aiding & abetting a criminal act!

[LSK]

15. 3. agreed to spy on Roberts opponents in the next election
