Any response from Leahy will have to be accompanied by a "barf alert." The Titanic is more likely to float to the surface tomorrow than Leahy is to vote for repeal of CFR.

"The Titanic is more likely to float to the surface tomorrow than Leahy is to vote for repeal of CFR."

LOL!

As Scalia noted, and Freepers have sadly joked, this bill protects incumbents. I guess there is no more wedged-in, protected incumbent than Leahy.

This whole situation makes people, even optimistic people like me, pretty cynical. I mean, I've been a very strong GW supporter but if he doesn't come out strongly in favor of repealing this direct attack on the First Amendment.... I don't know. It's sickening.

But I'm not going to worry about that now... my main goal now is to get someone, somewhere to sponsor a bill to repeal this garbage, and to do it--symbolically--in the very first day that Congress is in session.

Can someone post the people who voted AGAINST CFR? Perhaps one or more of them would be interested in this.... Can a bill be sponsored by a whole team of reps? If so, wouldn't that be amazing? :)

Then...we need to work hard to get a vote on this next spring.

And I hope that there would be at least some democrats who would realize what is at stake and demand of their reps to vote in favor of the repeal.
