So... I Was Asked An Interesting Question At The Local Watering Hole The Other Day...
A friend asked, "If there were to be a new Church-like Committee to investigate this NSA mess, who would you like to see in charge?"
I responded by saying it would probably have to be Leahy, head of the Judiciary/seniority/etc. Yet many, including me, would love to see it be Wyden... he's earned it.
And another friend pipes up and says, "I'd love to see someone NOT in Congress... Someone TRULY independent..."
And then she says, "Isn't Russ Feingold still a lawyer?"
And... as I was attempting to say, "BRILLIANT !!!"
A couple of ice-cubes made it across the bar-top.
