OK..here's what we know..Senate is in recess for the weekly party caucus luncheons. Supposed to resume at 2:15. on C-span 2.. The Foreign Relations committee is supposed to meet at 2:45 to vote on the Bolton nomination. Lugar has refused requests for a delay. Just before the Senate recessed, Reid objected to Frist's UC request for the Froeign Relations committee to meet today. Frist withdrew his request..

I hate to be the one who ruins it for you, but Biden's head does NOT blow off.

Voinovich sandbagged everyone.....and I mean everyone. Something fishy just took place.

Ah, but, there is where this is gonna be fun, although we don't get to see the conferees get together---

The only reason that the Senators were allowed to add an immigration amendment on THEIR bill, is because the House let the Sensenbrenner "REAL ID" amendment attach to the Supplemental that THEY passed--it had been promised to him since before this session of Congress even got started...

AND his amendment has more to do with SAFETY and terrorism, because is requires all passengers on airlines (and prolly railroads, since they cross state lines) have a PICTURE Id that has been checked against the terrorism watch list and for any wants or warrents here in the US---

So, now the Senators feel that they can attempt to slip in any and all illegal amendments that cater to illegals to this bill---

If these amendments stay, like the Mikulski amendment, the House has vowed to not pass the bill out of conference---

IOW--this is far from over, yet!!!

So what exactly happened? It sounds like the vote was delayed, but when will the new vote be?

Howlin I'm convinced someone got to Voinovich. From the time of the recess vote to the time he showed up in that committee room....with his tail between his legs looking like a whipped puppy.

OK, now pay careful attention to Lugar at the very end, after Biden takes his manhood away from him, for when he says, "OK, we'll trust each other." It was the funniest part!

I dunno how we got where we are today, but this business about Carl Ford has been in the Dem queue for 3 years, according to a Google search.

It'll be interesting to hear the truth; we'll have to go look for it though; nobody else is talking about anything except the Pope.

I don't think anyone got to Voinovich; I think he is just holding out for something special from Bush. This is the way the game is played. He looked sick because he knows what he is about to endure. If he aint a good poker player, he is going to get his traitorous ass kicked, and Ohio is going to go without a lot of money that would have otherwise gone their way.

He should be walking with a limp tomorrow.

I expect Bolton will withdraw.

I've never said this here, but I think there are a lot of skeletons in a lot of DC closets. These guys have been on the Hill for a long time....long enough for sexual liaisons of every kind, and financial hyjinx as well. That stuff was in the FBI files in the clinton White House. It has been used to blackmail Hill GOPers since 2001. And that's as close as I get to tin foil.
