Byron York, in a column on NRO today..quotes Scchumer as saying that torture is OK..Cornyn is already puting out a warning to the Dems...to me the GOP is finally acting like the party running the place..
These Dems are messed up in the head
On another note
Cozine just got back from Gitmo and reported the prisoners are being treated fairly .. not that I think Leaky will mention that
The House NEVER convenes before noon..it's a standing rule..takes time to get over a hangover..
Cornyn is laying out the facts. Go baby!
Marking
Cornyn is doing an EXCELLENT job.
As the former Atty Gen of Texas he is the perfect lead-off man.
I think that's been changed for some of this year. They're going to meet 90min earlier to get morning business out of the way so it doesn't eat up normal time.
This is NOT the normal introduction of the nominee.. Cornyn is on the attack..right at the Dems..it's a pre-emptive strike..
He is doing a great job. Pointing out that Geneva convention prohibits what in the US is routine poice questioning.
Interesting to hear that about Corzine.
So glad it's being stated, and I hope over and over again, that AQ doesn't qualify for protections under the Geneva Convention. Even the Red Cross recognizes this.
OK..thanks..
Neither do terrorists have US Constitutional "rights" in my non-legal opinion.
Leahy and the Liberals and the UN need terrorists to be held pursuant to the Geneva Convention. That is the only way they (Libs) have any reason for complaint. Liberals abet the terrorists, just like they coddle criminals, etc. In the Libs' warped sense, they think they are doing good for humanity, but their actions and positions are destroying the very fabric of humanity by their coddling.
Really???
I saw Ted Olson on with Matthews and Olson was fabulous as was Laura Ingraham later. The day before Frank Gaffney was terrific but Chrissy mocked him last night to another guest.
One anti-Gonzales witness today (Hutson) was on Spitball, too.
Cornyn is doing a great job stating the theory, law and supporting voices and documentation on the issue at hand of the treatment of prisoners. Ah, notes Congress, not Gonzales, who defined "torture".
Yes. He's making a preemptive strike.
