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.
LOL! It's torturous to listen to Dick!
I am tortured as to whether to listen and be to be further tortured by this torturous speech.
VIET NAM torture mentioned!..
I can no longer endure this torture..
Perhaps it would be useful if you started a separate thread devoted to discussing the pros and cons of Gonzales as AG.
The Dems allow Sheets another hour to pick on another minority.
Now, they are offcially the Stupid Party.
How?
I gave up caffeine and I am giving up on you too!
Correct, this thread is for play by play on what is going on the US Senate floor. It gets confusing with a second debate going on..
Seriously..watch him when he speaks..his health has really deteriorated of late....he's gone downhill fast..He says he's running in 2006..I hope does..his health will become the major issue..it almost cost Bunning a safe seat last year..I think Byrd will run, and will lose..my upset special..
Go to a topic and choose "Post" in the upper left hand corner and just follow the directions. It is so simple that even I have been able to do it on a few occasions.
I just got through to Senator Byrd's office. I asked the girl who answered the phone if the Senator need more white sheets as I had recently come into an excess supply of them. She responded "Have a nice day" and hung up on me.
Now that was fun.
Notice that C-SPAN has a graphic up listing those who will speak today; I also notice that it says Byrd-D (2:30 P.M.); he is the only one listed with a specific time.
Does C-SPAN believe the entire world awaits the pearls of wisdom from Byrd and gives us the time so we won't miss it?
DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS, Dick.
Oh, lordy, he's going back to Adams' Alien and Sedition Act. I agree, that was not a good thing. I did not know it was Bush's fault.
Now he's talking about the war with France???
With the help of that evil Karl Rove ;0)
It's a heads up so we can be sure and not tune in!
Loud music, sleep deprivation, sensory overload used by Janet Reno and the democrats against non-theathening American citizen in Waco, whom they ultimately killed including dozens of children. = Good strategy
Loud music, sleep deprivation, sensory overload usec by Republicans against facist islamists bearing arms against our soldiers = Torture
One need to look no farther than that to see why the democrats have no credibility.
Naw, just letting us all know its 'SHOW TIME'!
