PROGRAM -- (Senate - February 01, 2005)

Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, tomorrow the Senate will resume consideration of the nomination of Alberto Gonzales to be Attorney General. A number of colleagues spoke on this nomination today, and we expect a full day of debate tomorrow as well. Under the agreement, we will alternate debate in 1-hour blocks throughout the day. Again, I encourage those Members who wish to speak on the Gonzales nomination to contact the chairman and ranking member of the Judiciary Committee as soon as possible.

ORDERS FOR WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2005 -- (Senate - February 01, 2005) Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 9:15 a.m. on Wednesday, February 2. I further ask that following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be reserved, and at 9:30 a.m. the Senate proceed to executive session and resume consideration of the nomination of Alberto Gonzales to be Attorney General, as provided under the previous order; provided that at 2:30 p.m. Senator Byrd be recognized for up to 1 hour.

OH BOY, now Sessions is gnawing at Bobby Kennedy's legacy! Saying that he some of his investigations of people were unconstitutional.

Hehe ... Isn't Session at great handling these Dems

This stuff is mostly crude exaggeration about Alberto Gonzelez.

Michelle Malkin has a real tiger by the tail, allright, but she is not perfect in her application to specific situations or individuals. The repetition by you of these crude exaggerations, including making him a La Raza-type extremist, are so ridiculous they are BORING. Your distortions are BORING. You are skating on thin ice trafficking in these exaggerations with some people - not all - on that side who are bigots in disguise.

But their masks fell off a long time ago.

Here's something to ponder:

What's the significance of the following numbers?:

48,56,58,59,59,59,63,64,65,65,72,72,74,74,75,83,89

There are 18 Dem senate seats up in 2006. One, Corzine, isn't running..those numbers are the ages of the sitting Dem senators running for re-election. Their average age is 67, the median age is 65. By comparison, the median age of the US population now is 35.3 These are the people who are standing in the way of the president's plan to reform Social security..and if they were all to be re-elected..at the end of their term, in 2012, the average age would be 73, the median 71...even scarier..

Michele Malkin is pretty much a well respected authority

No, she most certainly is NOT. Maybe for you, but not for most.

I don't care for her at all; I think she's a self-promoting "bomb thrower."

And she can sue me for saying so.

18 seats huh???

That's a lot

BTW ... did you just see FNC and how Major Garrett has a new book out?

The Enduring Revolution : How the Contract with America Continues to Shape the Nation

He was commenting on how Dean thinks the Dems need to copy Newt in 94 to win back seats

It looked like it might be an interesting book to check out

I just heard that!

My husband came home for lunch and came in here to check his e-mail.

He wants to know how I can stand listening to the democrats go on and on, thinks it is bad for my blood pressure. LOL!

Oh, good, is this Hillary's Iraq buddy Reed? Yes, I believe it is.

Boring, droning voice and rehashing ths same stuff over and over again.
