Yeah, like that's gonna happen.
Bush isn't going to listen to Congress until somone drags his sorry ass out of the White House for a little mano-mano.
News Alert: Bipartisan House Committee Passes Resolution Demanding Bush Reveal Role in Illegal Phone Surveillance:
"In a bold move, the House Judiciary Committee passed a resolution calling on the Bush Administration to disclose its role in the NSA's telephone monitoring program.
Several Republican congressmen joined Democrats in approving the resolution in a voice vote today. Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) even challenged Bush by threatening to put the measure up before the full House if the Administration does not comply.
In an exclusive statement provided to BuzzFlash.com, House Judiciary Ranking Member John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) said, 'six months ago it was warrantless wiretapping, last month phone records, and now today eavesdropping on internet traffic. Until this Congress asserts its oversight authority and investigates what the NSA is doing and whether it is legal - much less effective - the Administration will continue to expand its ability to spy on average Americans.'
BuzzFlash was told by a Democratic source on the Hill that the vote is representative of a growing trend of Republicans becoming weary of White House privacy infringements. Just yesterday, twenty-three Republicans broke ranks to support an amendment that would prohibit electronic surveillance without a warrant. "
