#2 So we all have complaints about Graham, but I for one appreciated what he did to Holder.

#4 Kinda funny, isn't it, that a purported Constitutional Law prof and his top justice official are so clueless about basic aspects of the law.

Then again, in this case maybe the "con" in Con Law has a different correlative

#5 Well, one Senator doing his job. add Joe Lieberman, and there are only 98 left to 'get with the program'.

This kind of questioning needed to be done BEFORE his confirmation. asshats.

#6 Holder's look was priceless. I think Graham was a JAG. And I think the military has jurisdiction over enemy combatants because they were picked up overseas and tribunals the way to go.

#7 Another priceless exchange recently:
At a Joint Economic Committee hearing in Congress, in which House and Senate lawmakers sit on a panel, Mr. Brady (R-TX) opened up his questioning by telling Mr. Geithner Republicans, Democrats, and the American people had lost confidence in the Treasury Secretary and asked him to resign.

It is a great privilege to serve this president, Mr. Geithner responded. I agree with almost nothing you said.

Mr. Geithner then took it a step further: You gave this president an economy falling off the cliff.

Mr. Brady wasnt done: Remind me, Mr. Secretary, what post were you holding when President Obama took office?

Geithner: I was the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Brady then accused him of shirking responsibility for the design of this bailout.
Brady's knife would have done more damage had he properly accused Geithner of helping to cause the economic crisis in the first place.

#8 Geithner will be gone in a month. Holder should be axed too, but 0bama won't fire him.
