Statement
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson LeeCongressional Briefing on the Scope of Executive Power Since 9/11:
Presidential Authority to Conduct Warrantless Electronic
Surveillance
Friday, January 20,2006
Let me first thank Mr. Conyers for holding this important hearing. We are here today because the President of the United States has executed an order that allows the National Security Agency (NSA) to monitor, without a warrant, the international, and sometimes domestic, telephone calls and e-mail messages of hundreds and possible even thousands of citizens and legal residents inside the United States.
I do not oppose the monitoring of telephone calls and e-mail messages when it is necessary for national security reasons. I oppose engaging in such monitoring without a warrant. We have a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that was established for the sole purpose of issuing such warrants when they are justified. That court should have been allowed to decide whether the telephone calls and e-mail messages of American citizens and legal residents is justified by security needs. And on and on and on until she pukes.......
Blown your left wing propaganda site again reeks of convoluted conspiracy theory and made up BS. Any site that offers the ramblings of Sheila Jackson Lee has no crediblity, none, nada.
You know Congresswoman Sheila? She's the well informed political idiot from Houston that while on a tour of NASA and seeing the moon rover, asked the tour guide in front of media, fellow pols, and all present: "When are we going back to Mars?"
Yeah these are some intelligent folks all right.
If these sites were radio stations they'd all be "Oldies that nobody listened to the first time" stations. They do have some good clown acts however boring. :rollside:
