Expel Sen. Reid
Tuesday, May 17, 2005
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is using the politics of personal destruction to redefine McCarthyism.
Mr. Reid, a Nevada Democrat, announced on the Senate floor Thursday that he continues to oppose judicial nominee Henry Saad because of "a problem" in the highly confidential FBI report regarding the Michigan judge. "All you need to do is have a member go upstairs and look at his confidential report from the FBI, and I think we would all agree that there is a problem there," Reid said.
Even Mr. Saad is not allowed to see his file.
Standing Rule of the Senate 29, Section 5, states that a senator risks expulsion......
snip
..... only Judiciary Committee members and the nominee's home-state senators are allowed access to it.
Reid is neither.
Now that Reid has let Saad twist slowly, slowly in the wind, the Senate should act swiftly to enforce its own rules in a bipartisan move to expel him.
Until this moment, Sen. Reid, America never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. You have done enough.
Have you no sense of decency?

Ah, they stole that line from the McCarthy hearings, when the Senator had the stake driven into his political heart by a witness who managed to summon the effective words.
The Democrats are so pathetic.
Republicans should demand that Sen. Reid reveal when he read Saad's FBI file.
Expelling Reid might give us Dopey Dickie Durbin as RAT Leader. No thanks. Keep Reid around and nuke 'em on Wednesday.
bttt
Ah, but Horrid Harry is such a useful idiot! Can't we keep him just a bit longer?
Funny, when daschle was beat and they were talking about reid being the moderate from Nevada, I never imagined that he would turn out to be such a horses rear (and that is a slam on horses). What a nut-job he has turned out to be...
"I hold in my hand a list...."
bookmrk ping
I had no such illusion. Reid as compared to Daschle is like well comparing Genghis Kahn to the Pope. Reid is a rather scar tissue street fighter guy. The guy has an anger, which Daschle did not (D was just another political hack filling a niche, like most of his species). I can almost feel the Reid anger coming through the tube. Thank heavens Reid doesn't drink. He would be a very mean drunk.
I expel Senator Reid every morning first thing...you know, along with draining the lizard.
I don't know if he'll be kicked out of the Senate. But someone with a great pair of $300 imported wingtips should wind up and kick him squarely in the ass.
Repeatedly.
Don't forget to wipe your Clinton.
I LOVE Dingy Harry....keep him where he is ;)
Yes! And do so on the Senate floor live on C-SPAN!
Daschle was a priss meterosexual, this guy Reid's anger kind of reminds me of Dean. YEAAAAAARRRGHHHHHH!!!!
I think your take is about right. Reid is a Democrat Bob Dole without the sense of humor. Shudder.
Of course.
