Holder Refuses to Say Bush’s Warrantless Wiretapping Program Was Illegal
Attorney General Eric Holder testified on Capitol Hill Wednesday and refused to declare President Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program to be illegal. Holder was repeatedly questioned by Democratic Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin.

Sen. Russ Feingold: “Now that you’re the attorney general, is there any doubt in your mind that the warrantless wiretapping program was illegal?”

Eric Holder: “Well, I think that the warrantless wiretapping program, as it existed at that point, was certainly unwise, in that it was put together without the approval of Congress.”

Sen. Feingold: “But I asked you, Mr. Attorney General, not whether it was unwise, but whether you consider it to have been illegal.”

Holder: “The policy was an unwise one, and I think that the concerns that I expressed then have really been remedied by the fact that Congress has now authorized the program.”

Sen. Feingold: “But did you think it was illegal?”

Holder: “Well, I thought that, as a I said, it was inconsistent with the FISA statute and unwise as a matter of policy.”

I grew up in the south and, especially among the well-to-do, these weird hateful cruel, yet, effeminate white men were common to see. I'm not even joking here. I think alot of them are really screwed up in the head for having to repress themselvs their whole lives. As an aside, I saw a video where the hate monger minute-men leader in San Diego, Jeff Schwick, is laughing all creepily whie in a bikini in a hot tub. Republicans are really weird.

Everything I've ever seen from mediamatters shows the full context of any video or audio they quote, usually with an extra minute before and after the relevant portion. Then they give links to where you can get the full-length video from if you want any more. If you're going to make claims like that, you'll need to point out exactly how that's the case in this instance. It's called analysis. Go look at the thing you're complaining about and find the spots where your criticisms apply, if any. There's even another homework step after that: give us citations to the rest of the context you want us to see, as well as unedited video so that you can show how mediamatters was wrong. There are two reasons you cannot do this: 1) mediamatters <strong>never</strong> chops up their references, and 2) you suck at logically argumentative posting. American Patriot Says:

Oh my! An attorney general has a differing opinion! That CLEARLY SHOWS THAT REPUBLICANS ARE IDIOTS. By the way: "reminds Sessions who's boss"? Congress has the power to impeach the attorney general. Who's -really- the boss here? Of course, when it comes to Progressivism, founded partially upon the notion that the Constitution was a quaint idea that is not entirely applicable to modern times, I shouldn't assume that there would be an understanding of such trivial matters.
