WASHINGTON -- Phone company executives won't be grilled by a Senate panel anytime soon about their roles in the Bush administration's eavesdropping program.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said Tuesday he will hold off subpoenaing the telecommunications chiefs while he works with the White House on his legislation that would ask a secretive federal court to review the constitutionality of Bush's surveillance operations.

Democrats accused Specter of abdicating Congress' oversight responsibilities.

"Why don't we just recess for the rest of the year?" the committee's top Democrat, Sen. Pat Leahy of Vermont, asked sarcastically. "Vice President Cheney will just tell the nation what laws we'll have."

Seems to me like this is already the case.

He is the best shit-cover-upper this administation has had in a long time!

We are almost a total dictatorship. I wish we Americans would wake up to what is happening!

The bushies have made Congress irrelevant, enabled by the Republican Congress. Why don't they just resign, go home and save the tax payers all of their salaries? Send the judges home too. Who needs them? Dead-eye Dick Cheney will tell us what laws to obey. Peter Lorre Gonzalez will send all dissenters to the reeducation camps. We can have our daily mandatory two minute hate. We, the people, will forfeit all of our rights, then we can have a coronation for King George while freedom is on the march. Yay! Welcome to the terrordome.

Specter is a snake. If it`s a choice between country and party, he`l roll over for the party every single time.

. . . when Chairman Leahy will issue the subponas.

unitary executive office, wishful thinking huh?

there is no love lost between Cheney and Leahy, Cheney told Leahy to F off, I would love to see Leahy give it back to Cheney.

"Congress, if you accede to all our demands now, we will definitely consider your requests in the future."

Jeebus, any six-year-old on a playground can see where this is going.

and BushInc doesn't give them any room to do it.
