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.
I wonder what causes the palsey in his hands.
I'll ping you to a future thread regarding Constitutional intent, and we can smack each other around there. I don't want to take this thread off track more than I already have.
That woman to his left was keeping a very close eye on him. Didn't want water spilled all over her.
Looks like he has a sentence per page. LOL
Now you can hear it loud and clear: he's a friend of George Bush's; that's the problem.
Good grief, how obvious was that.
who is in charge of passing out barf bags today ?
Parkinson's..he takes L-dopa, I believe..
I believe the type is so big on each page that he had to keep turning them during his speech almost continiously..
Snide old fool needs an hour because of his 45 minutes of pauses.
Thanks. You know, the way he keeps saying "Alberto" sounds kind of ugly. Most others use Judge.
Just a family friend? Does he mean like a slave?
The more he talks..the better for the GOP...I'd almost wish that Frist wou;d give Byrd 3-4 hours of the Majority's time..
You are wrong to say that your rights are violated by the person who defends the U.S. Constitution, your right not to be shot in your neighborhood is violated by some miserable bastard or good for nothing who shoots you.
I don't think that people should be able to keep any weapon that they desire, but an Uzi is far from out of line with the idea that the citizens should have the right to protect themselves from whoever would do them harm, their own government or other citizens or aliens.
Don't bother, I don't care to show up just to read your kook fringe idiocy.
If he's going to take an hour with this, he must have a speech three inches thick up there.
Oh, he** Byrd, I can't remember what I had for breakfast.
