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.”
