RUSH: Snerdley, Cookie, I need to find something. I was just told by an audience member, the top-of-the-hour news, that the president has said that some independent body will now decide on whether or not we have the — if I understand this, an independent body will now decide whether we have the constitutional authority, the president has the constitutional authority to intercept phone calls from terrorists overseas to Americans in this country and vice-versa. Terrorists here, whoever is contacting terrorists. You know, the NSA, the so-called domestic spying thing. <\/line> Now, I just got a brief blurb of this, going to try to track down the story because I haven\u2019t seen it yet. If, with a capital I and a capital F, if this is true, this is inexplicable to me if some independent body, like blue ribbon — think 9\/11 Commission, think independent blue ribbon commission is now going to decide whether or not there\u2019s the authority to do these intercepts, the president is participating in weakening his own authority to act as commander-in-chief and to takes steps to protect the country from future attack. Regardless, if this is true, this won\u2019t be good enough for the libs. I should refrain from comment until I get the actual details because I\u2019m acting on very, very sketchy information. I\u2019ll get the information to you and the details as soon as I can track it down. <\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, it\u2019s true<\/a>. ?The Bush administration has agreed to let a secret but independent panel of federal judges oversee the government\u2019s controversial domestic spying program, the Justice Department said Wednesday. In a letter to the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ?? wonderful, ?–and that it already has approved one request for monitoring the communications of a person?? This is pathetic! Pardon my anger. I spent the whole year last year saying this wasn\u2019t necessary. The administration said it wasn\u2019t necessary. It isn\u2019t necessary; now all of a sudden we\u2019re going to do it. This is weakening presidential authority. Throwing all this to the FISA court? The FISA court is going to delay all this. It?s all about warrantless wiretaps of known terrorists. I can\u2019t tell you how frustrating this is. Just cave to every damn thing the liberals want. Let\u2019s just get it done with it so we can start fresh. Just throw everybody to hell and start rebuilding from there. Give \u2019em everything they want, Mr. President. It still isn\u2019t going to make \u2019em happy. This isn\u2019t going to make \u2019em happy. This is blood in the water. All this is going to do is embolden them. This frosts me. <\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
