This is going to make more folks mad as hell....with many of these particular senators re-election is in jeopardy.

THEY SHOULD 'REMEMBER TOM dASHOLE''!!!

I wish Bush would pull a 'toon and show them there FBI files. Except President Bush is way too honorable to stoop that low.

Today's dog-and-pony show will have two positive effects:
1)It will allow the Administration to, later on, subsume the issue of voting security into a Republican package of corrective and strengthening measures, and...
2)It will permit the Republican majority in the US Senate to more readily use the "nuclear option" to remove the filibuster from blockading the President's judicial nominees from reaching a floor vote.

The highly partisan Dem action today, which admittedly, even by the Dem participants themselves will have no effect on election 2004, will provide a goodly amount of political balance for future actions which would otherwise have been cast as Republican partisanship, in the public's eye...
