The Republicans need to learn from Delay and come out swinging with offense.

[Eagle of Liberty]

Reading all the way through 25th Amendment brought me to a section discussing previous uses of it. Any coincidence that NELSON ROCKEFELLER, Jay Rockefeller's Uncle, WAS APPOINTED TO VP UNDER THIS AMENDMENT?

[popdonnelly]

"...LEVIN... Adminsistration fabricated data and hid other data..."

And how does Mr. Levin know that? Is he merely blowing smoke?

[marajade]

they are... wasn't sandy berger indicted? Isn't a NS advisor pretty high up?

[ClaireSolt]

I say sic Sen Coleman and Mr Volker on the Wilson/Pflame case. Did he buy his $14,000 Rolex and Jaguar with Oil for Food money?

[Mo1]

"Did the Presindet exaggerate intelligence in order to justify military action against Iraq."

They already found the President did nothing wrong

[pepperhead]

The less they are in session, the more freedom we retain.

And that is a good thing. - Martha Stewart

[McGruff]

Who are these reporters? they are actually asking Sen. Turbin some fairly tough questions. I'm not use to this.

[janetjanet998]

Chris mathews on MSNBC is showing his true colors

[riri]

he Democrats plan to play rough and dirty til the GOP cries Uncle

We can not let that happen. Can not.

[Txsleuth]

Durbin just said that the Republicans WERE told about this before it happened!!!!!!

[Doogle]

Ha! Durbin says he hopes this will bring the senate together.

...I tell ya..there's something amiss, the pending breaking news that will send the dems wild. They know they can't win when it comes to SCOTUS...their credibility's gone...wacko's are calling for Sheehan to run for public office....LMAO...this is going to get very very ugly.

[mathluv]

Turbin Durbin saying the pubbies had a chance to stop it before the second was made. He said the dim staff told the pub staff, the pubs did not stop it.

[G.Mason]

"I think he was trying to transcribe what the Dems were saying."

So I finally figured out ... and told him in post #464.

Thanks. I about went bonkers. ;)

[OXENinFLA]

Durbin just said they informed Frist's staff as to what they were going to do ...........What BS!

[A CA Guy]

The Democrats want to be secret about what loons they are in discussing this issue.

[YaYa123]
