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.
well, that wasn't as cool as invoking scottish law ( arlen sphincter ) .......gutless moron.
Absence of a quorum and roll call gives him time for a rest and getting Vol.II of his speech.
NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
A potential criminal investigation, which is not part of his job description , potential conflict of interest issues (perceived more than real), keeping Gonzales as far away from that mess as possible. Just a few thoughts.
A meeting with the nurse. Change of diapers.
LOL..life is good
That's what I was afraid of.
Or maybe he just needed another glass of water..
Unrelated here, but Karl Rove is on Michael Medved right now.
I'm going to use the opportunity to get something in the kitchen to eat.
Yep
Now the splash says "Up to 8 hours of debate tomorrow, vote likely."
Fax them plain white sheets of paper :0)
And he's trying to discredit all conservatives in the media and print for 06 & 08
And no, I have nothing from Gonzales' mouth - I don't speak with him personally, I get my information from other people and this what other sources are stating about him, hardly liberal ones.
Wouldn't it be best to hear it from the man instead of accusing him of something that someone else says he said?
can someone please find out if CSpan is re-airing this gem tonight so we can enjoy it a second time ?
I had this thought listening to Byrd. Bank robbed, perpetrators caught, tried and found guilty. Police still refusing to take responsibility for original bank robbery.
Which is what Ashcroft said and did also
LOL...good one
