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.
Kind of like hitting the 'pause' button on a VCR.
Oh, I see the problem; you're clueless.
They must be used to us pranking them, particularly the Old Klansman.
What we should do is all send him a few sheets of white paper via the mail, all on the same day.
All aides have been instructed to be polite and for the most part they are, but I do get under the skin of the Kennedy folks.
They hate me!!!!
I am NOT and I am not going to change what I said either.
This is not the thread to trot out your one issue arguments..I will not play. I own a gun.
Are you under the impression that memos coming out of the DOJ are law?
Someone needed to use the little boys' room?
Why risk breaking your oath to defend the Constitution by not vetoing it? In this political climate, there would be NO pilitical backlash whatsoever on this. I like Bush, and think he has been a tremendous Commander in Chief, but on this issue, he is pathetically ignorant. So is Gonzalez.
As for the AWB. When a person dies, they expire, they don't go into limbo or an altered state of being. THEY DIE!
Congress takes that oath too.
On that we agree. My personal opinion is that if one cannot trust me to own whatever firearm I desire, I cannot trust them to be a part of my government.
When Sheets is up..watch when he goes to pull the Constitution from his pocket.. The last few times he has spoken, he had a lot of trouble..it took him over 5 minutes once to "find" it..He wants to run again in 2006, I'm not sure if he lasts that long..
Then run for office to rectify the wrong you see. If elected, then WE can criticize your ever move.
I have what Malkin stated about Gonzales on the O'Reilly Factor last week when the issue of illegal invaders came up.
Are you under the impression that a Republican Congress, most of whom are pro-2nd Amendment, are going to pass a bill reactivating the AWB?
No offense, pal; but I myself don't want the likes of you living next door to me with an Uzi.
I'm trying to keep this civil. The point I was making is that the AWB can go through Congress and potentially pass and become law of the land again. 2nd Amendment supporters must not get complacent with the expiration.
Move on..We heard you.
Thanks, ken. Gonzales and I share a birthday date. That must mean something, right?
At this point, no. A Columbine-like tradgedy with the right types of weapons could change that though.
