Senate Judiciary Committee consider more subpoenas; this time related to legality of NSA wiretapping

<snip>

Meanwhile, the Senate Judiciary Committee planned to meet Thursday to consider more subpoenas, this time for Justice Department documents setting out the legal justification for the administration's warrant-less domestic eavesdropping program.

Leahy and the panel's senior Republican, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, have been demanding that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales turn over documents justifying the program in which the National Security Agency, without court approval, monitored overseas phone calls and emails of Americans suspected of belonging to terrorist groups.

Gonzales has refused to respond since mid-May.
