The big news now is John Conyers' DSM hearings scheduled for June 16. A word of caution, though. This morning, during hearings on extending and expanding the Patriot Act, House Judiciary chair James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) evidently didn't care for the testimony he was hearing - and simply shut down the proceedings and walked out. At the time their mikes were cut, witnesses were testifying about prisoner abuse, racial profiling, long detentions, and other civil rights infringements stemming from the existing Patriot Act. Ironic, yes. Also deeply disturbing.
