I was in my car for a while this morning and caught part of Biden's questioning. Biden started down a promising path, but then let Gonzales off the hook. I hope somebody forced Gonzales to give a clear answer about the scope of authority claimed by the President. The only theory Gonzales has given that makes any sense at all is the C-in-C argument. Gonzales clearly wants to avoid giving a full explanation of that argument because, taken to its logical conclusion, it would authorize the President to wiretap anybody, anywhere, including within the United States, with no oversight by the courts or Congress. If that's the administration's position, we need them on the record saying so. If that's not their position, well, then they have no position.
EDIT: BTW, do you have C-Span radio in your area? They have a station in DC (90.1 FM). It's sweet. I think XM and/or Sirius have it as well.
