Sensenbrenner Ends All Partriot Act II Talks

You have to check out this Quick Time video to truly appreciate the Stalinesque actions at work here at the Judiciary Committee's Hearing on the Patriot Act II (broadcast on C-Span). Sensenbrenner (the proud papa of the Real ID Act & Judiciary Committee Chrmn) simply refused to hear what the Dems had to say against Patriot Act II, and that is fine-he can disagree w/what the Dems had to say- but Sensenbrenner simply refused to even allow them to speak AT ALL. James Zogby, a guest who was to speak at the hearing sums it up best: "What I think is, we are lecturing foreign governments about the conduct of their behavior with regard to opposition. When I see the behavior I saw here today, as an American I'm really troubled about what kind of lesson this is going to teach to other countries in the world about how they ought to conduct an open society that allows for an opposition with rights- & I'm sorry, I'm very upset." Ab-so-fucking-lutely. Check out this 2nd Quick Time video that shows how the pissed off Dems who are left stunned in the room-- after Sensenbrenner abruptly whacked the gavel and left-- go ahead and discuss what they came to say, w/no mics on and no record being kept b/c the Big Baby stormed out of the room. If you cannot watch on Quick Time, please go to this site and make your own selection on how to view it. If you are not afraid for our democracy folks then you are NOT paying attention. The goosestepping has begun...
