This just in from Raw Story:

BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee unexpectedly passed a Democratic resolution calling on the Justice Department to turn over all documents relating to information collected under the NSA wiretap program and any and all agreements with telephone service providers.

The measure was passed by a voice vote Wednesday morning with support of Republican Chairman F. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI).

Sensenbrenner told the Committee he would bring the measure to the full House floor for a vote if the Justice Department did not comply with his earlier requests for information about the program.

Looks like Republicans in the House are starting to worry about elections and figure they better start doing their jobs.

Re:

This will turn out to be the usual showboating done by Republican Guard members JUST BEFORE Karl Rove and Dick Cheney threaten to castrate Sensenbrenner and banish him to the hinterlands forever.

It's about time we recognized that TO A MAN the rubberstamp Republican guard is rife with ABJECT COWARDS LACKING THE COURAGE TO STAND UP TO BUSH regardless of their personal beliefs. THEY ROLL OVER, TAIL BETWEEN THEIR LEGS LIKE WHIPPED CURS, WHINE AND LICK THEIR MASTER'S HAND.

Anything else wouldn't be "Republican".
