I guess it is surreal to find a Dem senator actually doing his job

DoJ official finds it ‘surreal’ to have to respond to Franken’s concerns about Patriot Act.

Yesterday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing to discuss the reauthorization of the USA Patriot Act. Committee member Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) used his question-and-answer period to investigate the provision that authorizes “roving wiretaps,” expressing concern that the law does not require federal authorities to identify the target with specificity before proceeding with surveillance. Franken then read the Fourth Amendment to one of the panelists, Assistant Attorney General David Kris, emphasizing that, “no Warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” “That’s pretty explicit language,” noted Franken, asking Kris how the “roving wiretap” provision meets that constitutional requirement. The Washington Independent’s Daphne Eviatar reports what happened next:

Kris looked flustered and mumbled that “this is surreal,” apparently referring to having to respond to Franken’s question. “I would defer to the other branch of government,” he said, referring to the courts, prompting Franken to interject: “I know what that is.”

UNITED NATIONS – With President Barack Obama presiding over an historic session, the U.N. Security Council unanimously approved a U.S.-sponsored resolution Thursday committing all nations to work for a nuclear weapons-free world.

Russia, China and developing nations supported the measure, giving it global clout and strong political backing.

The resolution calls for stepped up efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, promote disarmament and "reduce the risk of nuclear terrorism." It calls for better security for nuclear weapons materials and underscores the Security Council's intention to take action if such material or nuclear weapons get into the hands of terrorists.

Rep. Wilson: No second apology for `You lie' words

WASHINGTON – Rep. Joe Wilson says he's not going to apologize on the House floor for yelling "You lie!" during the president's health care speech to Congress last week.

Democratic leaders plan to propose a resolution of disapproval this week if the South Carolina Republican doesn't apologize to Congress. That would put Congress on record as condemning Wilson's conduct.

Wilson says he called the White House after the speech Wednesday night and apologized. He says the White House accepted the apology and that's good enough for him.

Wilson says he still believe that President Barack Obama was misstating the facts when he said illegal immigrants would not qualify for government health care.

Of course, no article on this matter has stated the fact that Wilson is the one who has been lying or that he should apologize for lying as well as for lowering the level of civility in this country to an almost unprecedented point.

And this is only what I'm thinking of off the top of my head, without going into the details of the last 8 years.

I'm no history major, but I can't think of any other single attack in the history of the world that decimated a country and its ideals to such an extent.

Bin Laden couldn't have succeeded more even if he was working directly with bush. Bush did everything - and more - that bin Laden could possibly have wished for in his absurd reactions to the attacks.

Of course, even in his so-called "apology", Wilson doesn't admit that he was the one who was lying, not Obama. Obama truthfully said that the health care proposal does not cover illegal immigrants - which is easily proven to be true - and so Wilson lied about Obama lying.

I literally cannot imagine the outrage if a Democrat had called bush a liar - even when he actually was lying - especially in this setting. He would have been lucky to have gotten out of the chamber alive. I bet Wilson doesn't even lose his job, which he obviously should.

Obama accepts lawmaker's apology for floor remark

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama accepted a South Carolina Republican's apology for shouting, "You lie!" during his speech to Congress, and House Democratic leaders showed no interest in sanctions against Rep. Joe Wilson.

Obama said Thursday that Wilson apologized "quickly and without equivocation" and the congressman told reporters the shout-out was "spontaneous."

"We all make mistakes," Obama told reporters, a day after Wilson stunned the president and his colleagues with his outburst.

Infuriated Democrats briefly considered sanctioning the four-term congressman, but decided early Thursday that doing so might distract lawmakers from getting an agreement to overhaul health insurance.

"It's time for us to talk about health care, not Mr. Wilson," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

Last month, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani endorsed former Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s ridiculous claims about “death panels” in health care reform, saying that “whether they will do that or not I don’t know. … People assume these death panels will be created.” On NBC’s Meet The Press today, Giuliani continued to give credence to the idea, saying that because Democratic health care reform proposals don’t include medical malpractice reform or “interstate purchase of insurance,” it became “impossible for most Republicans to figure out how you’re going to save the money other than pulling the plug on grandma.”
---
Giuliani regularly claims that President Obama never put medical malpractice reform “on the table,” but as ThinkProgress has previously noted, this is simply not true. In May, Time reported that Obama told Republicans that he was willing to negotiate on curbing malpractice awards, but the Republicans were unwilling to make a deal.

Bachmann: We should ‘make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers’ against health care reform.

Yesterday, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) delivered a “speech filled with urgent and violent rhetoric” at a gathering sponsored by the Independence Institute in Denver. During what was originally billed as a “personal legislative briefing,” Bachmann “got downright biblical” when describing her unwavering opposition to health care reform:

“This [health care reform] cannot pass…What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers on this thing. This will not pass. We will do whatever it takes to make sure this doesn’t pass…Right now, we are looking at reaching down the throat and ripping the guts out of freedom. And we may never be able to restore it if we don’t man up and take this one on.”

According to the Colorado Independent, Bachmann also claimed that many Americans pay more than half their income in taxes, adding “it’s nothing more than slavery.” She affirmed that “you’re either for us or against us on this issue” and bragged about being the country’s “second-most hated Republican woman.” Rather than spending quality time in her home district during August recess, some speculate that Bachmann’s trip signals her “branching out” and sowing some “rich, right-wing Western soil” in preparation for a future national run.
