Since "Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.", I and others think it's a good idea to centralize what the goes on in the Senate (or House).
So if you see something happening on the Senate/House floor and you don't want to start a new thread to ask if anyone else just heard what you heard, you can leave a short note on who said what and about what and I'll try and find it the next day in THE RECORD. Or if you see a thread that pertains to the Senate, House, or pretty much any GOV'T agency please link your thread here.
If you have any suggestions for this thread please feel free to let me know.
Here's a few helpful links.
C-SPAN what a great thing. Where you can watch or listen live to most Government happenings.
C-SPAN 1 carries the HOUSE.
C-SPAN 2 carries the SENATE.
C-SPAN 3 (most places web only) carries a variety of committee meetings live or other past programming.
OR FEDNET has online feed also.
A great thing about our Government is they make it really easy for the public to research what the Politicians are doing and saying (on the floor anyway).
THOMAS where you can see a RECORD of what Congress is doing each day. You can also search/read a verbatim text of what each Congressmen/women or Senator has said on the floor or submitted 'for the record.' [This is where the real juicy stuff can be found.]
Also found at Thomas are Monthly Calendars for the Senate Majority and Senate Minority
And Monthly Calendars for the House Majority and Roll Call Votes can be found here.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT (aka The Dept. of Defense)
I am just guessing here, but being a stupid moron is most likely a requiremnet for leadership in the Democratic Party.
Cornyn up in the Senate!!!
That's a good guess!
It's like Rush says, to liberals their "religion" is liberalism itself and abortion is their "sacrament." Therefore since abortion "rights" came from the SCOTUS it's their "god." If I think of it in those terms it makes sense. [with props to Rush]
Rush would be so proud, well done :)
Just heard on c-span 1 that Kennedy will be on there in a little bit...and then Chuckie Schumer will also be on this afternoon....OMG
I guess we are fortunate that Clinton and Kerry aren't on the Judiciary Committee ...but Durbin is, so I wonder how long it will take him to get to a microphone?
DeWine is doing his level best to make me cry!
Do ya'll think that the Gang of 14 will step up and "offer" their services to make sure that THEY get their nasty little hands in?
He has a habit of doing that...
Is the Pope Catholic? Call Reagan National and see how many reservations have been cancelled.
Sessions on Fox!
Thanks good catch! I had things to do today darn it! It was supposed to be a slow news day!
ROFLMAO!!!!
Yep--yesterday was a yawner....and now, just when you thought you could catch up on the work....
From what I gather from the pundits, the fact that it was O'Connor instead of Rehnquist that retired, it will make the replacement process ESPECIALLY vitriolic because she was so often the "swing vote" in 5-4 decisions, and if Rehnquist doesn't retire, there could be MORE conservative decisions...
I wish we could deploy the Democrats to the hot zone in Iraq, I am so sick of them!
Bloviatos on Span 1
Can't someone charge FatTed with murder anyway? The statute of limitations never expires on that.
In my limited capacity as a holder of a BS in Criminal Justice and assuming that your question is not rhetorical. The answer is no, he pled guilty to that which he was charged with and I think a case would be made that it would be Double Jeopardy to charge him again. However in all matters the way I understand it, is that if new infromation/evidence came to light then they could persue a new indictment based on that information/evidence.
Well ok... it will just be a fantasy of mine then!
But wait a sec... he wasn't charged with murder, or even manslaughter, right? Just leaving the scene of an accident IIRC. ???
