[WestVirginiaRebel]

The good Senator from Texas is right. Lawyers will be the death of us all...

[Howlin]

[Bahbah]

The contrast with Cornyn should be interesting.

Hopefully when the next filibuster occurs......

[BlessedByLiberty]

Thanks back again and catching up. If anyone gets info about the memo, please ping me. Interesting - wonder if it has to do with the earlier Miranda memos.

[MEG33]

Heeeeer's Teddy

[Mo1]

Fat Teddy is up now

[Bahbah]

Teddy says his problem is the nominee's attitude toward torture and he was at the epicenter of that policy. Now he will make things up.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Senator, would you consider torture to be leaving a drowning woman in a vehicle, and leaving the scene of a crime?

[gopwinsin04]

Ted says he wishes he could vote for 'the story..'

[MEG33]

Sorry..I have been called away. ;)

( I just cannot handle 15 minutes of the swimmer.)

[Mo1]

Specter is bringing up the memo/letter from this morning

[Bahbah]

It sounds like Leahy indicated that a memo he was citing as Gonzales' evil was a memo that had nothing to do with him and was never seen by him. That's what I'm getting.

[Mo1]

So they are blaming Gonzales for something he had nothing to do with????
