Specter Threatens to Subpoena Information on Warrantless Surveilance Program

Friday, June 16, 2006

WASHINGTON — Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter cranked up his dispute with the Bush administration over executive power on Thursday, threatening to subpoena documents on the White House's warrantless surveillance program.

Specter said he had not received a response to his request that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales appear before the panel this month to answer questions about the surveillance program and other touchy subjects — such as the FBI raid on a lawmaker's office last month.

"I will ask for authorization for a subpoena if we do not get an adequate response," Specter told the committee.

Such prodding may not be necessary, according to the Bush administration.

"We are currently working with Chairman Specter to set a date for the attorney general to appear," Justice Department spokesman Eric Holland said........http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,199751,00.html

It serves Bush right for campaigning for the slime ball.

[cerberus]

Yeah! How dare he try and do his job of Congressional oversight! Doesn't he know this Administration doesn't need oversight? Who needs a judiciary committee anyway? Big Brother Bush knows what's good for us....

Big Brother Bush knows what's good for us....

Funny, the Democrats think the same thing of themselves. They even think they know how to spend our money better than we do.

They even think they know how to spend our money better than we do.Their deity thought so.

"We could give it all back to you and hope you spend it right... But ... if you don't spend it right, here's what's going to happen. In 2013—that's just 14 years away—taxes people pay on their payroll for Social Security will no longer cover the monthly checks... I want every parent here to look at the young people here, and ask yourself, 'Do you really want to run the risk of squandering this surplus?' "

Note "spend it right". Elitist assholes like BJ Billy always know what's good for us and how we must spend our money in order to be "right". And what is "right"? A: giving it to DemocRATs to spend buying votes from welfare parasites.

Never forget:

Arlen Specter was the one who turned Ira Einhorn loose after he killed Holley Maddux. Einhorn stayed on the run for 20+ years.

Arlen Specter was responsible for that.

Spector is a rectumhead.

Yeah! How dare he try and do his job of Congressional oversight! Doesn't he know this Administration doesn't need oversight? Who needs a judiciary committee anyway? Big Brother Bush knows what's good for us....

Thank you....our little Osama Moore Worshipper. You want a little dose of Oliver Stone as well? Does that make your penis bigger? Only your dog will know.

As for Specter....just step down. For good.

A shame that this Senate Tyrant still lives. I would have hoped that his cancer would killed him first.A shame that he still lives, since his vote still impacts our lives on daily basis. I, for one..root for his cancer.

Lord knows, we do not need his devil kind in our Senate. Kennedy maybe the Anti-Christ...so we will have to put up with him for the next 2300 years. But..at least we know what we get with that sot.

A shame that the Cancer Boy and Haoni Boy (McCain) still serve in Senate. With GOPer's like this and W giving out personal tacos to the wetbacks...well....I think we can see what f****holes we have in our gov't.

And to think that what this country's future would have been different if Flight 79 had hit it's target. And overall, for the better.
