he's pretty boring, but effective.

He is a very nice man and a solid one, but the monotone could put you to sleep.

Something is just not right about him today

Arlen thinks so much more highly of himself than he merits.

He says there is talk of a filibuster of the Patriot Act. See, the dems do want to get us all killed.

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.

Oxen, you are a wonderful FReeper! Thank you.

I'm not sure. There seem to be some areas of the bill with which he is not in agreement.

He's talking about that part now

Though I'm still not sure what he wants to change

He doesn't like the fact that you can't appeal a gag order preventing you from revealing that business records have been subpoened. He also things that the right to get records that are "relevant" to the investigation is too broad.

I understand and tend to agree with him on that point

Though I realize we need go after these terrorists and their funding

I also realize that if (god forbid) Hellary is elected president .. or a lib like her .. I can see that part of the law being abused big time

Sounds like he wants a 3 month extension to get a better bill on the Patriot Act

A 3 month extension sounds innocuous enough, but I don't trust Leahy as far as I can throw him.
