Wartime Executive Power and the NSA's Surveillance Authority II
Hearing: Wartime Executive Power and the NSA's Surveillance Authority II, Senate Judiciary Committee, Full Committee, February 28, 2006.
Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy, Ranking Member, Judiciary Committee: "Attorney General Gonzales' conduct has made the Bush-Cheney Administration's position crystal clear: It claims there is no place for congressional or judicial oversight of any of its activities in any way related to national security in the post-9/11 world. Through stonewalling, steamrolling and intimidation, this Administration is running roughshod over the Constitution and hiding behind inflammatory rhetoric demanding Americans blindly trust every one of its decisions."
Statement of Robert A. Levy, Ph.D., J.D., Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute, Washington, D.C.
