I was a bit confused this AM when I sat down to read EW, when Iwon came up, they already had a “top story” headline for SM and his testimony… I was a bit confused because I thought the hearing was just about to start. Came to EW’s blog, and of course, she was just starting to live blog. Went to CSPAN to see how long they had been up and broadcasting.

Iwon posted their darn story on SM hearing just five minutes into the hearing. That told me everything. The hearing will be scripted…and for the most part…it was.

The story has been updated since. I should have saved a copy of it.

Just an interesting observation.

You said:
“Sadly, I can identify with Conyers’ demeanor. At what point are we fighting valiantly onward vs. beating our head against a wall.”

Freedom,like learning, is a struggle worth a lifelong engagement. Like exercise you do it to stay strong. The resistance to totalitarianism keeps them from being worse to us. Think of the kids.

Big Brotherwill take all we let him have.

So what will make the current news cycle? Scotty or the desolution of the 4th Amendment?

My bet is the SHINY OBJECT!!!!!

Look… it’s Scotty!!!
And Scotty says nothing actionable.

It might depend on Senate rules (the House rules permitted no amendments), but I’ve been thinking of two possible amendments whose mere proposing could be useful: (1) Replace “was determined to be lawful” with “was determined by a court of law to be lawful”, followed by (2) Replace “was determined to be lawful” with “was determined by the President of the United States” to be lawful. You can see 1 would fail, and 2 might conceivably pass but would compromise the law from a later court challenge POV. But even if both amendments fail, the point would be made unavoidably obvious even to the dimwitted reporters that Congress seems inevitably to attract, and they would both publicly shame the compromisers. (Reporters specializing the Article III Department are generally way way better.)
