Ticked. Very ticked bump.
They can all hold their collective (pardon the pun) breath and turn blue.

Regarding the list of senators on Intel comm. - anyone else notice how many are also serving on the Judicial Comm.? Another committee where the GOP allows the RATS to run the show.

A "highly placed Washington mover and shaker" told me that there is an understood bipartisan agreement in place that there will be no investigations of ethics complaints. Zat so? That's DISGUSTING. I'm OUTRAGED over that letter you received in response and the above.

Thanks for posting the committee list - it helps for all to see where the "weak links" are. BTW, did you see an item in Robert Novak's column today:
NOT CONFORMING JUDGES
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is reported by Senate sources to be leaning on Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch to get more aggressive in pushing President Bush's nominations for the federal judiciary in a way that would add to the number of filibusters.
Hearings have been held on Claude Allen, who once was press secretary to former Sen. Jesse Helms of North Carolina, for the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. But Hatch has bowed to Democratic demands and not forced a committee vote on Allen. Hatch has not even called hearings on another 4th Circuit nominee close to Helms, Chief District Judge Terrence Boyle, or four judges for the 6th Circuit opposed by Michigan's Democratic senators.
Frist wants to speed movement on these nominations even though confirmation is unlikely. The Republican rationale is to add to the long line of filibusters in the Senate in hopes they will backfire against the Democrats.

I did see that and it is good to know the pressure is there. Personally, I think that once the President doesn't have to worry about re-election, he just needs to find the most conservative (offensive to liberals) candidates in the country and recess appoint them all. Fill every vacancy.
I'd like to see that coincide with really important cases that are making their way through the system, like the reverse of what the democrats did by stalling confirmation so cases would go the way the special interests groups who paid them, want.
If that happened it would show that we mean business. You can recess appoint Supreme Court Justices too. I think if Bush started filling the vacancies with a bunch of Bork clones, that might bring the democrat obstructionists back to earth.

Makes me wonder what kind of deal might have been cut. I suspect it's something along the lines of, "You do what we tell you to do, and those 900 FBI files will stay in their folders."

If that happened it would show that we mean business. The only problem with that premise is that it presumes that "we" do mean business.

If wishes were horses...

Heh heh. If I get one of those "pleas for funds," I think I'll follow your example. Except I will end mine..
I have determined that your request for a contribution lacks substantive merit and that no further action is appropriate with respect to the matter, which is hereby dismissed.
