Perhaps aware that the trial lawyers’ wish list doesn’t stand a chance in the post-election reality, Senate Democrats are also scrambling to dig up newfound technical changes in the bill--anything to force a time-consuming conference committee. Democrats are even pushing a patently silly idea: Forcing Homeland Security advisory committees to meet out in the open under the same “sunshine” rules that govern advisory committees to, say, the Department of Education.
Senate Democrats, in votes occurring most likely today, face two divergent paths: either they can side with President Bush, public opinion, and the San Francisco liberal-cum House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), or they can come to the aid of their biggest backers: trial lawyers. If they choose the road less traveled, even fewer voters will likely follow them in 2004.
This is a fine thing to wake up to......these people are out and out evil!!!
