2. Rockefeller at the least is thrown off the committee. Ideally he should resign as a Senator, but that takes morals and values.

If Rockerfeller or another Dem on the committee takes the fall and resigns, wonder who would be available to replace that fallen Dem?

Surely amongst all those Dems, one brave soul would avail herself and accept the appointment by acclimation--to save the Committee, the Party, the Nation, Western Civilization, the world and the planets beyond. Oh who, oh who would be such an heroic statesmanwoman? Who, oh who, would benefit from such a Committee position?

Ah yes, there are always possibilities, some good and some just plain EEEVILL..

But, better to try and force this issue than not to do anything because of possibilities. Never know what is going to happen but to not take action because of possible futures is, well.........I guess what Republicans have been doing in the Senate for years.

DAMN!! Just wiped out my whole post!!

If the Dims want to have any credibility at all after this, they will propose Zell to take on the vice chairmanship. I doubt he(or the Dims) are interested, but I can dream.

The word treason has been thrown around a lot during the last couple of days. Coincidently, we are at war.

Treason while at war ............ hmmmmmmm, seems like "seriously criticized" might not measure up to the required standard.

I know, I know. But the Democrats have been calling it a war .... you know, like when they accuse Bush of saying the war was over (which he never did). So, I say we're at war and you know what that means for treasoners ....

Hourly, it becomes more obvious that Rockefeller himself was the source of this memo. He cannot finger a staffer without fingering himself. As to who takes over once he's gone, why it will be the Senate's favorite Marxist, Carl Levin.
