Thomas ^ | 2-02-05 | Senate

Posted on 02/02/2005 6:33:50 AM PST by OXENinFLA

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 don't doubt you. I was wondering what in the world he might mean by that. That's probably not good for one's mental health, pondering what Sheets might mean by any statement.

See post above. Not advisable. NIH recommends against it.

Let me ask you all this: is the chief legal counsel for the POTUS suppose to GIVE him legal advice, or is he suppose to tell him what the laws are?

Sheet's ugly yellow tie is somehow appropriate for him.

I believe it is the former, buy and large. Of course, he has to have an understanding of the law to do so, but most clients I know don't what to hear a recitation of the law. They want advice on what can and cannot be done.

And it looks like his suit coat or whatever it is has a button about every inch down the front. Looks like a Confederate military uniform dyed black or something.

"There needs to be accountability in our government." This pronouncement from a man who voted NOT to impeach Bill Clinton.

If he could give him "advice," why would Bush have had to hire an outside attorney for the Plume affair.

Absence of a quorum and roll call gives him time for a rest and getting Vol.II of his speech.
