President Bush to Hold White House Press Conference at 10 a.m.
Just Brilliant!LOL. It sounds far fetched, but not really. That would sure take care of the border issue from that side.
Morning All! I hate Terry Moran!
Is that Terry Moron from ABC asking the President about what Amnesty International says about the President??
Bush attacking the Amnesty International flat out!
LOL The President chuckled about the gulag comment.
I did too.
So do I. Do you have any further information on the questions being asked? I can't get coverage on my radio, and the TV is locked into cartoons.
Debate on Brown starting 2 PM Monday. Cloture vote on Brown at noon on Tuesday. No schedule announced for debate or cloture vote on Pryor, but the cloture motion was filed "at the same time" Brown's was. The cloture motion can be vote on, and debate can follow if the cloture motion passes.
The cloture vote for the Bolton nomination is under a Motion to Reconsider. As far as I know, there is no "outer time limit" for voting on the motion to reconsider, since the underlying matter hasn't been passed along, in this case, the nomination hasn't been passed along to the president.
If anybody has definitive information relating to how a motion to Reconsider (Rule XIII), Cloture (Rule XXII) and Handong of nominations (Rule XXXI) play together, I'd like the benefit of your insights.
Was Kavannah kicked overboard in the deal as George Allen alledged?
Reid wants to scuttle the nominations of Haynes and Kavanaugh ...

I haven't checked Kavanaugh's history or record. At least 4 nominations are under threat by Reid: Saad, Haynes, Kavanaugh and Myers. Boyle is the other one "out there," and since he hasn't been mentioned, I did research some relating to his past ...

All nominations have to be disposed of somehow. They don't just disappear. The manner of being "kicked overboard" is important. If the nominee is rejected in an up-or-down vote, the Senate has at least given voice to its sense.
The Press is not as snarky as usual! Asking about Congress now.
The networks...all three, are showing this live.
Thought I'd bring this post over here :0)

'The survey also contained a warning for the Democrats about how their opposition to any reform of the Social Security system is playing with the electorate.
"By an overwhelming 70-22 percent margin, voters believe that opponents of President Bush's proposals for Social Security reform have an obligation to put out their own plan for reforming the program," including 55 percent of Democratic voters, Mr. Zogby said in a report of his findings. '
maybe they are as bored as we are.
Just when I think your posts can't get any more absurd...
Bush calls Amnesty International report "absurd".
I know I am bored! Good observation! Back to SS again! sigh!
Oh, thank goodness, coverage resumes on my radio. Now I won't have to count on people like you for information.
Mr. Helen Thomas.
HA! .. I just noticed that
Thanks for the heads up
Hoping for failure, no doubt.
Of course it was!
I agree with the President. The American people appreciate that he is willing to push on a problem to solve it, not just let it roll downhill for the next guy. I think the American people appreciate that he's proven to be a man of principle, a man of his word, even when it's not advantageous politically.
