We're not just in Kansas anymore, Toto. Bill Frist is threatening to unilaterally change the Senate Intelligence Committee’s rules to cut out the minority’s role unless the ranking Democrat, Jay Rockefeller, caves in on his demand for hearings on the warrantless NSA spying program. We have to move fast to make our voices heard.
...
EVERYONE: USE YOUR OWN THOUGHTS AND WORDS: We're not Republicans and don't have an echo chamber, which makes us both more honest and more persuasive.

Fight hard and have fun. It all comes to a head Tuesday when the Intelligence Committee meets.

1. Frist's staffer claims no knowledge of this.

Though she said she'd pass along my concerns that Frist was channeling Joseph Stalin if this were true.

2. It doesn't matter if people write to the Frists of the world...

They are going to do what they want....they changed standing rules in other committees before because they couldn't rubber stamp everything and they will do it now....

4. I know, I know Mad M, but if I just let it happen...

Did you read the entire blog entry - some stuff you could do to bolster those opposed to his threat...

5. msgadget I definitely will follow up with a call..

I am just pissy today....it's like every day there is a new travesty.......

sigh....

9. LOL! Not if you heard

Duncan Hunter on C-Span this morning. Wonder of wonders, 'Clinton did it' remains the chorus, only this time its regarding the port deal. And, was I imagining Casey talking today about weapons being moved to Syria before the Iraq invasion? Never idle, the little darlings!
