PELOSI: "The Pres has nothing to offer (the American people) BUT fear.”

[kpete]

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.”

1. She sure talks a good game

Too bad she never plays offense.

[tekisui]

3. I feel like something shifted. Something tilted. Maybe the torture admission?

I am cautiously hopeful on the tone.

[tekisui]

2. She's also quoting the Constitution and the Oath that the Congressmembers take.

THey are finally going after the contempt charges.

[Virginia Dare]

6. Sure seems like it..

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.

:wow:

[caligirl]

4. Huge democratic primary turnout = Nancy finally finds her voice

She finally speaks out for the voters.

[Adsos Letter]

5. Is it possible...

silly question, I know, but...is it possible the Dems have been waiting this long to move in order to keep an ongoing demonstration of Repug issues/behavior in front of the American people during the runup to the elections...say, 6 months of action? :shrug:

[LisaM]

10. Wow - good point! Let's hope so.

A lot of it's about timing. I've had a similar thought, though not so well expressed as yours, that it matters what they do in the second year of majority, not the first. Many Americans have political ADD. They won't remember what happened 16 months ago, but they do remember what happened last week.

[Adsos Letter]

12. It just seems to me that, with many of the challenges either of our

current "presidential hopefuls" would face running against the Repug's in November that a 6 month ongoing display of Republican Congressional behavior, which would underline the broader issues which they have been supporting, might , um...come in handy, tactically speaking... :D

:hi:

[BonnieJW]

7. Don't worry,

she'll apologize first thing in the morning.

[spanone]

8. 'the president does not operate outside the law' yes nancy, you are correct.

[Torn_Scorned_Ignored]

9. and she doesn't uphold her Oath to the Constitution

and us, the citizens.

and, well it's a good thing Nancy isn't a Rocket Scientist.

[natrat]

11. what a creepy scumbag she is
