3. thanks! I can catch the first few minutes at least

4. Leahy took a big jab at Gonzo, Specter is confused because

the Supreme Court ruled that the writ is applicable to those at Guantanomo

[MiniMe]

5. Witnesses being sworn in now

The question is, how far over will Whorin Hatch bend? How could he possibly support getting rid of Habeas Corpus?

[MiniMe]

6. Unbelievable, they actually found 2 neocons to say that the military

commissions act is constitutional and necessary. One is a retired general, the other worked in the Bush administration.

This upsets me way too much. How did it come to this?
