Good...let him speak for 2 hours..more Kleagle talk..Byrd looks much worse, of late...when elderly people "fail", they tend to do it rapidly...I suspect he's gonna run again..his pride won't let him retire, and his health may well be the deciding issue..it almost cost Bunning a safe seat..

Democrats Won't Delay Vote on Gonzales



WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democrats won't try to filibuster Alberto Gonzales' nomination to be attorney general but will hold extensive debate over his role in developing the Bush administration's policies on foreign detainees, the Senate's top Democrat said Tuesday.

Due to the "somber mood of the nation," Democrats in Congress have called on their Republican colleagues to refrain from all celebratory applause during President George Bush's state of the union speech Wednesday night.

GET OUT! NO WAY! Who is calling for this? And who is somber? Oh, maybe Democrat? I'm not somber. I'm estatic.

"Why is Specter mentioning EVERY negative thing ever said about Gonzales???"

Because Specter is one of THEM- the enemy!
