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?

My vote is to expel.
LOL, I didn't mean it like that.....I meant I LOVE what he is doing to the Socialist, err I mean Democrat party!!!!
When is he next up for re-election? He won't be re-elected.
The line wasn't "stolen." It is obviously used here to startle the Rats with an allusion to their hypocrisy.
Well .. we know where Reid got the information .. from Carl Levin's office. Levin is on the judicial committee and he's from Michgan.
If Levin or a member of his staff allowed Reid to see the information .. then we need to get rid of Levin also.
That would be interesting.
No he has no sense and no decency.
This is the kind of thing communists do to their opponents in communist countries, Reid royally slipped up and exposed himself as the little commissar that he is. He has no place in a free peoples' Senate, in fact, most of his comrades on the left shouldn't be there either.
It's sad to reflect on how in the world they ever got voted in, in the first place. The American electorate has gotten so stupid, ignorant, greedy and gullible that we have the likes of Reid and his ilk, and we may not ever recover if steps aren't taken to right our listing ship.
My money is on Leahy, he has a record of leaking sensitive stuff.
2010
BTW, that Arlen thread got pulled this morning.
But .. the FBI info would only be available to judicial committee members and home-state senators.
Wouldn't that be Levin ..??
Rule 113.11a: teasing is NOT allowed on FR!
Pray for W and Our Troops
(and Carl Levin or Leaky Leahy or Hillary's 900 FBI files or ...)
Sure, Levin and Stabenow are the homestaters, and Leahy is the ranking member on Judiciary.
