Yet another stage from which to ignite the constitutional crisis

i posted yesterday on jerry nadler's subcommittee hearing on the issue of warrantless domestic spying... i neglected to mention that it could provide yet another launchpad for the constitutional crisis - IF nadler doesn't wuss out like his colleagues seem to be doing...

let's get on with it, ferchrissake...
