Ellipses in Feinstein's quote:
It's "fair to say that what was in the newspaper this morning is not content collection. ... Nonetheless, I happen to believe we're on our way to a major constitutional confrontation on Fourth Amendment guarantees of unreasonable search and seizure." _ Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., a member of the Judiciary Committee.
Ellipses in Feingold's quote:
"That the government may be secretly collecting, and using data mining to analyze, the phone records of millions of law-abiding Americans, as reported in the press today, is a frightening prospect. ... It is time for the administration to come clean with Congress and the American people." _ Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., a member of the Judiciary Committee.
Kerry's quote isn't even the entire sentence!
""Enough is enough. It is long overdue for this Congress to end the days of roll-over and rubber stamp and finally assert its power on behalf of the American people to advise and consent before General Hayden becomes (CIA) Director Hayden." _ Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., in a speech at American University.

Enough is enough. It is long overdue for this Congress to end the days of roll-over and rubber stamp and finally assert its power of advise and consent before General Hayden becomes Director Hayden
and proves Chairman Hoekstra right by doing the job wrong. How about this:
Peter Hoekstra, Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee describes this nominee as “the wrong person, in the wrong place, at the wrong time...Enough is enough. It is long overdue for this Congress to end the days of roll-over and rubber stamp and finally assert its power of advise and consent before General Hayden becomes Director Hayden
and proves Chairman Hoekstra right by doing the job wrong."Or better yet, this:
Peter Hoekstra, Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee describes this nominee as “the wrong person, in the wrong place, at the wrong time...His words ring especially true on a day when we are reminded of the Administration’s determination to keep the extent of their illegal domestic spying program secret."
Sheesh!
