If Senate floor debate starts on the 25th, the day after the committee vote and during the week of the 23rd when they are supposed to be on recess then Frist is doing what he said he would do. If they don't then I agree with you 100%...
I'm not trying to be argumentative with you, but in the post you made a few posts back has Frist saying this:
"If Democrats delay final action past January 20th, he will cancel the recess for the week of January 23rd which he had previously scheduled with the knowledge of Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV)."
then how is delaying the vote until after January 20th sticking with what he said?
I know your not being argumentative - I've enjoyed your posts here over the years. I'm not trying to be either. :^)
The way I read what Frist said was - fine you can use the rules to delay the committe vote until next week (the 24th). But if you do - don't expect to be home next week - we will just have the floor debate during the week when we should be on recess.
Thanks, Chesterbelloc. So I wonder if Frist will or has cancelled their recess?
I specifically looked for and haven't seen anything in the stories I've read about whether the recess has been cancel or not, but he better...
Thanks for looking; we'll see what Frist does now.
The point I was making is that you cannot avoid the "appearance of impropriety" - the people who create the "appearance" are not under your control. All you can do is avoid the actuality of impropriety - and point out that the appearance is controlled by journalists.
"Specter is a useless POS..."
That about sums it up. Earned in my mind during the Ruby Ridge hearings.
You know, come to think of it, it would be nice to see the Bork and Brown hearings dusted off and aired on Fox for a historical perspective. Cheers.
Sitting on courts listening to cut throat shysters thru nearly 5,000 cases seems like the ideal training before going before the Judiciary Committee. Alito is inured to the hateful bravo sierra rhetoric; it rolls off his back. Tango Sierra, Dims!
