VP Cheney is now backdooring around moderate republicans even.
Quote:
During a morning session, Specter and other committee members were annoyed the Justice Department had sent a mid-level official to testify but not respond fully to their questions on the potential prosecution of journalists who published leaked material about the program.
Hours later, as a session on calling major telephone companies to testify on the NSA program was about to begin, Specter learned the vice president had circumvented him and won backing from other GOP members on the panel to prevent the testimony.
The lobbying maneuver engineered by Cheney and Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican, left Specter's hands tied.
