12. AP: House closes its doors for spying bill

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080314/ap_on_go_co/terrorist_surveillance
By PAMELA HESS, Associated Press Writer Fri Mar 14, 8:05 AM ET

WASHINGTON - The House held an unusual closed-door session to talk about classified intelligence gathering in anticipation of a vote Friday on a warrantless eavesdropping bill.

The Democratic bill would set rules for the government's surveillance of phone calls and e-mails. President Bush has vowed to veto it.

The president's main objection is that the bill does not protect from lawsuits telecommunications companies that allowed the government to eavesdrop on their customers without permission from a court after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

House Republicans succeeded Thursday in delaying the vote by one day by requesting a rare, late-night closed session of Congress to discuss the bill. It was the first secret session of the House in a quarter century.

The last such session was in 1983, on U.S. support for paramilitary operations in Nicaragua. Only five closed sessions have taken place in the House since 1825.

..............

[L. Coyote]

13. Current vote is on the RULE passed. = Immediate consideration of HR 3773

Immediate consideration of HR 3773 begins now.

[L. Coyote]

14. Conyers is leading the debate.

Few rights are more fundamental to our democracy than protections from search and siezure.

There are few responsibilities as serious as protecting against attacks.

[slipslidingaway]

15. Thanks K&R n/t

[LSK]

16. 1 Hour of debate left then the votes

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

17. Bill has a provision to wipe out a Shrub executive order that took away power

from the court and given to the attorney general. Isn't it sad, that this has to be done. Herr Diktator strikes again.

[L. Coyote]

19. BIG changes now. Secret court sessions to determine "state secret" validity!!

The USG will no longer be able to claim "state secrets" in lawsuits again without presenting a case to a judge.

[LSK]

20. OOOO I AM LOVING THAT ONE!!!

ABOUT TIME!!!!!!

[LSK]

18. FUCKING ASSHOLE LYING RIGHT NOW

Saying 3 soldiers were killed in Iraq because they had to wait for wiretaps. Fuck you asshole, you can go back and get a court order up to 3 days later.

FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

[L. Coyote]

21. The Rs have been lying on the House floor all morning. And the Dems have

told them as much to their faces.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

24. Thanks for the thread. K&R

[Subdivisions]

28. Even if that were true, isn't that what our soldiers are

supposed to be doing - "fighting for our freedoms", including our right to privacy?

House FISA Bill Picks Up Some Backers
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3007127


The House was nearing a vote on an electronic surveillance overhaul after a contentious day that featured the first secret session of the House in 25 years and furious efforts by Democratic leaders to round up caucus support for their plan. ... http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?parm1=5&docID=news-000002687862 .....

[LSK]

25. another fucking lying Repuke claiming that court orders delay things

Go fuck yourselves assholes.

You cant win a debate without lying.

[LSK]

26. haha his time expired and they cut him off

[L. Coyote]

27. Rep. Tom Feeney: to assert immunity is a violation of federal law for telecoms

They just keep lying!

AND, Feeney just got cut off in mid-sentence.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

29. Am I getting it wrong, but have the Dems put a loophole in there to make it easy for the

telcomms to get off the hook? The telecomms can appear before a judge in private session, excluding the plaintiffs attendance, to show why they shouldn't be prosecuted, using classified information.

[LSK]

32. no, they offered a solution to allow classified information to be reviewed in lawsuits

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

35. What happens then is that this information is placed in the hands of a judge

(perhaps appointed by *) and the plaintiffs have no idea why their lawsuit might be turned down. That doesn't seem right to me.

[LSK]

36. I am trying to find the text of the amendment, would like to see it

[LSK]

50. no because if the evidence is Bush spying for other reasons, the judge will not throw it out

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

51. This makes me feel much better about it. Thanks you!

:hi:

[LSK]

30. next Repuke doesnt know of anyones rights being trampled on

:eyes:

[democrat_patriot]

31. Someone should send him the 40 lawsuits

that are pending. If he can read that is.

[LSK]

33. OMG THAT WAS STEVE KING

He said if Obama wins terrorists will dance in the streets.

[L. Coyote]

34. Rep. Nadler for 2 minutes. Rs blocked PAA renewal.

[Gold Metal Flake]

37. Hail Livebloggers.

They are what make DU great! :loveya: :toast:

[VP505]

40. Yep, they do

cause doncha know, we just can't rely on them deadbloggers to do much of anything.:hi: LOL

[Gold Metal Flake]

42. Oh, sure, dis the dead.

I am sooooo sick of the dead-haters at DU etc...

39. New FISA Compromise Is an Improvement, Still Raises Concerns

http://www.aclu.org/safefree/general/34440prs20080311.html

3/11/2008

"“While we still have concerns about aspects of the new House FISA bill, the American Civil Liberties Union is encouraged by the new draft – particularly the language on state secrets, which would allow the cases to go forward while allowing the telecommunications companies to assert any defenses...

"We do, however, continue to have the same reservations we had about the RESTORE Act passed by the House last fall. The provisions in that bill and this new bill allowing for bulk collection of communications and dragnets are inconsistent with Fourth Amendment protections and thus we cannot endorse the bill...

“The recent revelations from a new Verizon whistleblower who tells a story similar to the allegations of the AT&T whistleblower – that telecommunications companies are allowing wholesale access to US customer communications without warrants -- coupled with the story in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal about the reemergence of the total information awareness program make clear that Congress and the courts need to investigate the facts before blanket immunity is even considered.”



ACLU Letter to the House Regarding Draft FISA Legislation, H.R. 3773 (3/12/2008)

Re: Discussion Draft of H.R. 3773

http://www.aclu.org/safefree/general/34444leg20080312.html


"...Despite these laudable elements, the ACLU cannot support programs that provide for bulk collection of American communications – and this proposal authorizes just such a program. As the Wall Street Journal reported Monday, wholesale collection of Americans’ information is an ongoing and increasing problem that continues to encroach on our rights. Every time we think we understand the scope of surveillance undertaken by this administration, new facts emerge that show the scope of spying is even broader. We encourage Congress to do extensive oversight to learn how this Administration has violated our rights so we can begin the process of rectifying the many abuses of power that have been committed."

[L. Coyote]

133. telecom immunity as RED FLAG to cover up the horrid erosion of liberty "bulk collection of commun...

"bulk collection of communications" is a huge issue.
Would this slip by at all, if we were not watching
the wrong side-show, the telecom immunity distraction?

Meanwhile, is the recent rash of releases of info on surveillance more cover-up,
intended to avert discussion of a more serious crime, databasing the entire stream?

Is the crime something far more disconcerting than "bulk collection of communications"
as "they have protesteth way tooo much" this week!!

The propaganda campaign must be hiding immensely impeachable offenses.

MORE from: Are ALL COMMUNICATIONS routed overseas to circumvent US law and the Constitution?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2935817&mesg_id=2935967

I was told years ago that ALL fiber optic communication traffic was routed overseas so that "everything" was moved outside the protections of the law and Constitution and ANYTHING could be monitored. I thought the idea quite fantastic even though it came from a very reliable source that would know exactly such things. Then, the story of the fiber optic splitters hit my radar. I now see now how easily exactly that, routing ALL COMMUNICATIONS overseas, was accomplished.

Is this Bush's and the Telecom's HUGE crime hidden and covered-up behind this story?
If the telecoms get immunity, will it aid in covering up Bush's crime.
ABSOLUTELY! That is why it is so important to the Rs!

Supporting telecom immunity = obstruction of justice.

Have we arrived at the point in the history of the Bushco junta where
laws passed and people nominated are part of crimes of obstructing justice?

[slipslidingaway]

137. That could be partially true, just posted the Kucinich statement

as to why he voted against the bill.

Did we really win or just take take our eye off the full picture.

:shrug:

http://kucinich.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=86082

Kucinich Opposes FISA Bill That Infringes on Fourth Amendment Rights

Washington, Mar 14 -

"Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) released the following statement regarding his opposition to the FISA Amendments Act of 2008:

“Blanket warrants, institutionalized by the Protect America Act, will continue with the enactment of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008. Under this bill surveillance of persons abroad could infringe on the Fourth Amendment rights of U.S. citizens,” Kucinich said.

The FISA Amendments Act of 2008 is the latest version of FISA legislation to be considered by the House of Representatives. Provisions outlining the conditions under which a warrant can be issued are vague. They require no evidence of wrongdoing and contain no explanation of how the information will be collected. The bill also permits warrants of an undefined scope. They do not need to contain details about the facilities, places, premises or property to be searched. These provisions undermine America’s Fourth Amendment rights.

“The Constitution dictates that the government must have cause to spy on U.S. citizens. But this bill ensures that all targeted international communication that the government intercepts is not covered by the Fourth Amendment even if a U.S. citizen is involved.

“Although this legislation was an improvement over past versions of irresponsible FISA legislation, it does not include retroactive immunity for telecommunication companies and ensures that the courthouse door remains open. I cannot support a bill that undermines Constitutional protection of civil liberties.”

“If we permit our constitutional rights to be watered down out of fear, we have given up our democracy. Congress must stand firm and defend the Constitution,” said Kucinich."

41. Do You Suppose Callers are Paid to Call in for the GOP?

I do....

[LSK]

43. same old debate from GOP: FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR

They never fucking debate whats actually in the bill.

[JerseygirlCT]

44. Seriously - do you think any of these guys really believe what

they're saying?

Either they're unbelievably stupid, or unbelievably cynical. I never can decide which.

[LSK]

45. now we are attacking trial lawyers

[JerseygirlCT]

53. Yes, those awful people!

Again, with the big fat broad brush. I doubt they'd be castigating them if they needed one. Or if enough of them supported the GOP!

There are good and bad lawyers, just like there are good and bad lawmakers. Funny they can't see that, huh?

[LSK]

46. Pelosi up

[LSK]

48. "The President is wrong"

[LSK]

49. "its always been about protecting the Administration"

She knows that these lawsuits will reveal Watergate on steroids.

[EFerrari]

47. So TODAY she takes her oath seriously. n/t

[LSK]

52. PELOSI JUST SAID THERE ARE PROVISIONS FOR EMERGENCIES

AND THE ASSHOLE REPUKE GOES OFF ABOUT HOW IT WOULD DELAY THINGS.

FUCK IM SO SICK OF THE LYING!!!!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

55. Those provisions are there already under the original FISA. I believe that it the

administration is allowed 72 hours before going to FISA court without needing a warrant.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

56. You think these pubs would have learned after the 2006 election to stop the LIES.

Dumb clucks.

[peacetalksforall]

54. Some citizens busted the FBI in the 70's - same type spying operation. WIN Magazine

"Though highly under-emphasized, the theft resulted in the exposure of some of the FBI's most self-incriminating documents, including several documents detailing the FBI's use of postman, switchboard opperators, etc., in order to spy on black college students and various non-violent black activist groups. For more information on this subject see COINTELPRO"

Postman. Switchboard operators!!!!!

"The Citizens' Commission to Investigate the FBI was a leftist activist group operational during the early 1970s." (Their one act was the theft and distributionof FBI records.)

They broke into a small FBI office and stole some classified records. Sent them to the media and got them published in a peace magazine - WIN Peace and Freedom, etc. Shut the operaton down.

Imagine. Switchboard operators - a few decades difference.

Which theft is less - stealing our privacy or stealing their documents of them stealing our privacy? Why do they make us face all these sticky situations. And we still pay them to steal from us.

Who posted the essay about all crimes having one crime as its constant center - the crime of theft.

Just a little diversion to show that our problems do not go away.

[peacetalksforall]

60. This from Common Dreams. Deja vu- will 'endanger the lives of people involved...."

"When the Washington Post received copies, Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell asked Executive Editor Ben Bradlee not to publish them because disclosure, he said, could "endanger the lives" of people involved in investigations on behalf of the United States. "

I like this Inslee gent.

[bdamomma]

76. Repuke Hoekstra: The House does not recognize the threat

77. Tierney reminds us that we fought the cold war with nuclear threat with old FISA

Geeze. Did you notice how well he framed his statement?

We always let them do that. :grr:

[bdamomma]

Steny is up!!!

Steny is telling the repigs off.

[LSK]

88. this speech is a thing of beauty!!!!

[LSK]

84. Hoyer up

[malaise]

87. He's kicking ass to boot

Go Steny! Cheers from Dems.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

89. Great! Job, Steny!!

Brings up old Delay and his tactics. Too funny.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

96. He did a great job!

[KharmaTrain]

86. Lundgren Throws The Desperation Pass...

"Aw c'mon...just roll over and pass the Senate bill". How amusing to see the GOOPers squrim under the legal games they used to play and knowing they're about to go to a crashing defeat.

Remember, they want the Senate bill NOW as this is this regime's last real chance to get its ass covered for months to come...if at all. The longer this "debate" goes on, more information comes forth showing more people have been wiretapped and that this regime is covering up mass spying on millions of Americans...or, even more damning, is targeting specific people for reasons far related from the conveluted "war on terror".

I've been critical of Hoyer caving to the GOOP in the past, but he's really stuck it to them in this debate. They wanted a FISA bill...threw their tantrums, and when he was good and ready, they got one...just not the one they wanted. Now he's letting them choke on it.

[EFerrari]

90. Hoyer does better than Pelosi or Reid, nearly as well as Durbin

because HE USES FEWER WORDS. He should still cut back by half.

It's the Kerry rhetorical problem. Too many words, your message gets lost in the minds of the 30 second listeners.

[LSK]

93. that was such an awesome speech

[EFerrari]

95. He came through! What a pleasant surprise!

The Democrats are doing really well today. :)

[KharmaTrain]

105. Hoyer Is The Real Power Here...

A lot of the crap thrown at Pelosi has more been the work of Hoyer...the traditional role of the Majority leader is to "move the agenda". DeLay was the real power, not Hastert...and in this congress, it appears Hoyer is the gatekeeper as to what gets moved to the floor and when and which version is the underlying bill. In the past he was way too accomodating...but at least in this case, he's dug his heels in and has done a great job behind the scenes in getting this bill passes and even bringing Blue Dogs along.

Lets hope this is the much needed spine injection.

:hi:

[bdamomma]

92. Steny is applaused.

Ayes have it, yeas and nays now voting on the vote

final passage, and phone calls now, get ready for the calls, god, I cringe when they take calls. Democratic caller

[KharmaTrain]

101. A Well Crafted Debate...

I really enjoy watching Conyers play bill manager...and each Democratic speaker brought a different piece to the floor. Meanwhile you could see Able-Danger Hoekstra do the slow burn...

Seems like many callers aren't being hoodwinked anymore...progress in small doses.

[LSK]

91. debate is over, time for vote

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

97. Caller during vote sees Helicopters.

Had to call her AG? I don't get it.

sickening where do these people come from.

great calls coming through, this one guy said if they want their phone calls tapped go live somewhere else!!!!!!!

[LSK]

103. do they watch the Dem speeches with the mute button???

[bdamomma]

104. or with their fingers in their ears.

total denial of these people calling.

[KharmaTrain]

108. Only One Blue Dog So Far??? 220 Is The Magic Number

Rut Roh...

This is not gonna make emperor pissypants happy...he may rush out and hold a press conference and really tell us a thing or nothing.

Remember 220 is the magic number!

[bdamomma]

109. how can anyone forget how that despicable man laughed

at the FISA law saying it was not relevant and how many other documents has he said were not relevant, we have a very sick sick man in abuse of power. This was being done before 9/11 what more evidence do these repigs need to show how much disdain they have for the American people, and then again, we have this POS * telling us to be patient and optimistic regarding the illegal invasion of Iraq, and be optimistic about the economy??? give me a fucking break.

[LSK]

112. FISA law was written in 1978, its a different world now

Randi plays the quote all the time.

[ThomWV]

113. 139/108 Our side is winning

114. 2 defectors so far

[LSK]

116. yes

[ThomWV]

118. I think it would go straight to Conference.

[LSK]

128. CSPAN crawl shows it goes to the Senate

[ThomWV]

117. 157/138 Time's up according to the C-span clock

[LSK]

120. Im going to call it for us

121. Seems like they're still voting...

tick, tick, tick.

[LSK]

123. these things always run long

[KharmaTrain]

119. Hmmmm...A GOOPer Is Waivering?

4 Blue Dogs Now...and about 40 votes needed to pass.

Either GOOPers are too stoooopid to figure out how to use the voting system or there's been one or maybe others who thought of hoping the fence and were pulled back.

[KharmaTrain]

122. AND IT'S OVER!!!

Down goes booooshie...down goes FISA.

Bravo House Democrats...Nadler, Conyers, Reyes and Hoyer for putting a big loss on this regime and a win for our liberties.

2nd ETA: I can't count

[L. Coyote]

138. Keep in mind, some Dem opposition is based of opposing erorion od civil liberties.

One thing th telecom immunity debate has seemingly accomplished
is to alter the focus on FISA law, such that a further erosion
of civil liberties is not being vigorously opposed by Dems.

[L. Coyote]

134. A victory for House Dems and the rule of law. A loss of precious liberties too.

Thanks everyone who added interesting comment while I was off busy.

Just out from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV):

“I am very encouraged by House passage of a new FISA bill. The new House version adopts the basic structure of the Senate-passed bill, but contains added privacy protections. Now is the time for Republicans to come to the negotiating table so we can resolve the last few issues. The President should stop giving high-handed speeches in the Rose Garden and start working with Congress to finalize this important national security bill.”
