Kyl has been a real ass this session. I wish defeating his reelection had gained more traction last fall.

Shouldn’t the Republican’s ammunition be all wet by now?

How is one Senator able to block the "new majority" of the DNC/Senate from engaging in oversight?

Put aside the parliamentry rules: How on earth is the GOP explaining itself; and how does the DNC explain this? This is absurd and contrary to the notion of oversight in re FISA.

Shame on the Senators for blocking this; and shame on the DNC for not finding a way to override. There's enough evidence to justify asking a question; efforts to block a review are argubly reckless, evidence of faiures of Members of Congress to fully assert their oath.

Kyl has been acting like a jackhole since last summer when to hint of various Republican scandals started breaking.

I wanta know why the Democratic leadership hasn't pulled a Grinich on Kyl and rolled out a fleet of speakers to stand out on the floor in front of the C-SPAN cameras and denounce his obstructionist ass for hours on end every night.

Has everyone forgotten the Professioinal Shredding company truck that was parked at Cheney's residence for weeks?

Rove wasn't behind the surveillance program; that was Cheney's baby.

All White House involvement has already been purged from the record.

The records of the Energy policy task force that Cheney organized and that drove the Iraqi invasion have also been destroyed.

The White House is isolated from any condemning evidence and as long as there is no "Deep Throat" all paths will only lead to subordinates and "I can't recall". The WH will contnue to have full confidence in anyone that has direct knowledge of high level, non-executive privilege communications.

The Democrats will continue to investigate hoping for a Deep Throat to appear. If no one ever breaks their silence then the Democrats will keep the investigations plodding along to illuminate incompetence in every department. Illegal political influence in Department policies and actions will be opened to the public view.

The Committee's will hope to make the investigations last long enough to influence the 2008 elections. The Republicans will still be labeled as the party of corruption. The Democrats will retain the House and Senate and pick up a few more seats and hopefully the Executive Branch.

Bush, Cheney and Rove will leave office without any proof of their involvement in illegal activities.

By 2012, peak oil will be seriously impacting the world economy and the US economy will be in real trouble. The Republicans will then try to regain power by casting Bush and Cheney as visionaries for invading Iraq to control oil supplies.

Our opportunity to undo the Bush and Cheney damage will only last for four short years.

We need to continue to support these investigations without letting our expectations of WH convictions get in the way.

"How is one Senator able to block the "new majority" of the DNC/Senate from engaging in oversight?"

Do the math. The Democrat's "majority" in the Senate is near-illusion. One Senator is recovering from a brain hemorage. One Senator is Lieberman, the "Democratic Independent" who caucuses with the Democrats then votes with the Republicans. The other, an actual Independent, caucuses with the Democrats.

"Put aside the parliamentry rules: How on earth is the GOP explaining itself; and how does the DNC explain this?"

Do the math. Or continue to pretend the math isn't what it is in order to bash the Democrats.

"This is absurd and contrary to the notion of oversight in re FISA."

FISA oversight is not by Congress; it is by the FISA court.

"Shame on the Senators for blocking this;"

Kyl is only one Senator.

"and shame on the DNC for not finding a way to override."

The Dmemocrats don't yet have the votes to "override".

"There's enough evidence to justify asking a question; efforts to block a review are argubly reckless, evidence of faiures of Members of Congress to fully assert their oath."

Really? Yawn.

Let me guess: you're a pro-Bushit troll named Senator Kyl.

What do you expect from Jon Kyl? he's one of the core neocon bastards who cover up for the DICTATOR at every opportunity, right long side Arlen Spector, and that asshole from Kansas that should also be converted to 'worm food' soon.

is this the BEST that Arizonan's can do? this pile of fuckjob and John McCain?

jesus, what the fuck is wrong with people in AZ??
