(UPDATE 12:49 p.m. ET) The Capitol Police have alerted Senate staffers the situation involving a suspicious package has been resolved.
"The U.S. Capitol Police have removed the suspicious package from the Hart Senate Office Building and the envelopes from the third floors of the Hart and Russell Senate Office Buildings. The areas are now open," the agency wrote in an email.
(UPDATE 12:24 p.m. ET) Authorities are investigating a suspicious letter at the office of Sen. Carl Levin in Saginaw, Michigan. "Earlier today, a staffer at my Saginaw regional office received a suspicious-looking letter," Levin said in a statement. "The letter was not opened, and the staffer followed the proper protocols for the situation, including alerting the authorities, who are now investigating. We do not know yet if the mail presented a threat."

The man being questioned is described as emotionally disturbed, the official said.

Own goal?

Good... anything that keeps those heathens busy with something other than concocting ways to make our lives miserable.
Suspicious package=Amnesty Bill?
Interesting that this drama is here at this time during this all important vote about our freedom.
” situation involving a suspicious package(s)”, OK just WHO was the CLOWN who sent the cases of copies of the King James Bible and the US Constitution/Declaration of Independence?!

As long as they have access to computers with copy & paste functionality the bills will only get longer. They should be forced to write them by hand. /only slightly sarc
