Statement from Mark Pryor (another member of the gang of 14) today -

Press Release

Statement by Senator Mark Pryor On Judge Alito’s Confirmation to the Supreme Court

When I ran for the Senate, I said there would be times when I agreed with the President and times when I would not, but that I would always vote in the best interest of Arkansas. There is no doubt in my mind that Judge Alito is a credentialed jurist for this position, and carries with him the proper judicial temperament to sit on our Nation’s highest court. However, intellect alone is not sufficient to fill this lifetime appointment. I believe a Supreme Court Justice must also exhibit a consistent ability to be fair and impartial. While trying to give deference to the President, I cannot ignore that Judge Alito’s record demonstrates his tendency to legislate from the bench. In my mind, this unmet criterion disqualifies Judge Alito from receiving my vote. Finally, while I personally cannot support Judge Alito’s confirmation on the Supreme Court, there is not a smoking gun in his past that would warrant “extraordinary circumstances” and subsequently a filibuster against his nomination. I have faith in the thirteen other members who forged the “Gang of 14.” In exchange for preserving the minority party’s right to filibuster a judge, we all agreed a higher threshold must be met before this action is taken. Our agreement also called on President Bush to seek meaningful consultation with the Senate before nominating a judge. I believe the Administration worked with the Senate, as a co-equal branch of government, to find a consensus nominee in Chief Justice John Roberts. I was proud to vote for Chief Justice Roberts, and I believe he will conduct himself as a man of the court, not as a man of politics. In addition to Justice Roberts, I have also supported 116 judges nominated by President Bush. But I simply do not have this same degree of confidence in Judge Alito. ###

This is the scar from the papercut
that got me first Purple Heart

[Bush gal in LA]

These people are so desperate for a leader to lead them out of the wilderness (being completely out of power) its pathetic! They are searching for somebody , ANYBODY that will help them. For the RATS to pick lurch for this stupid, fake flipperbuster is laughable.They chose him once to give them back the presidency. That was a bust. Now this is making their whole party a laughing stock. Whats that old saying?.......Fool me once ,shame on you,fool me twice shame on me! I'm praying they pick this nut again to win the presidency in 2008 ,and then they can be fooled a third time and hopefully be gone forever!

Damn thing won't stay lit.

I heard Jill from Ithaca, it was just like reading an edition of the DUmmie FUnnies. I wonder what her screen name on DU is? Poor thing lost someone on 9/11, that's tough, but she is convinced that President Bush knew it was coming and did nothing to stop it. She is hurt and looking for someone to blame.
She doesn't blame Al Queda, she blames Bush. Just the same kind of insanity that is on DU all the time.

Byrd must, deep down, loathe what the Democrats have done to the Senate and this country.

For sure. I listened to this segment live and was howling with laughter. Some of Rush's best.

For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

Stolen Valor Act of 2005 (Introduced in House)
HR 3352 IH

109th CONGRESS

1st Session

H. R. 3352

To amend title 18, United States Code, with respect to protections for the Medal of Honor, and for other purposes.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

July 19, 2005

Mr. SALAZAR introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

A BILL

To amend title 18, United States Code, with respect to protections for the Medal of Honor, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the `Stolen Valor Act of 2005'.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds that--

(1) fraudulent claims surrounding receipt of the Medal of Honor, the Distinguished-Service Cross, the Air Force Cross, the Navy Cross, the Purple Heart, or any other medal or decoration awarded by Congress or the armed forces damage the reputation and meaning of these medals;

(2) Federal law enforcement officers are currently limited in their ability to prosecute fraudulent claims of receipt of military medals; and

(3) changes to the current statute are necessary to allow law enforcement personnel to protect the reputation and meaning of these medals.

SEC. 3. MILITARY MEDAL PROTECTIONS.

Section 704 of title 18, United States Code, is amended--

(1) in subsection (a)--

(A) by inserting `purchases, attempts to purchase, solicits for purchase, mails, ships, imports, exports, produces blank certificates of receipt,' after `wears'; and

(B) by inserting `attempts to sell, advertises for sale, trades, barters or exchanges for anything of value' after `sells';

(2) in subsection (b)(1), by inserting `or (b)' after `subsection (a)'

(3) by redesignating subsection (b) as subsection (c);

(4) by inserting after subsection (a) the following:

`(b) False Claims About Receipt of Military Medals- Whoever falsely represents himself or herself, verbally or in writing, to have been awarded any decoration or medal authorized by Congress for the armed forces of the United States, or any of the service medals or badges awarded to the members of such forces, or the ribbon, button, or rosette of any such badge, decoration or medal, or any colorable imitation thereof shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.'; and

(5) by adding at the end the following:

`(d) Other Medals- If a decoration or medal involved in an offense under subsection (a) or (b) is a Distinguished Service Cross awarded under Section 3742 of title 10, an Air Force Cross awarded under section 8742 of section 10, a Navy cross awarded under section 6242 of title 10, a silver star awarded under section 3746, 6244, or 8746 of title 10, or a Purple Heart awarded under section 1129 of title 10, or any replacement or duplicate medal as authorized by statute, in lieu of the punishment provided in that subsection, the offender shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.'.

---

"From Ray Funderburk, MOPH

The greatest threat to the sanctity and significance of the Purple Heart comes from the medal's easy availability. Anyone can buy one at flea markets, pawnshops or on the Internet, where Web sites offer the decoration, no questions asked, for as little as $35. An accompanying certificate on onion skin parchment and personalized with your name and any rank you choose costs about $25.

Such commerce in the symbols of American courage and sacrifice would be outlawed by a measure spearheaded last July by Rep. John Salazar, D-Colo.

His "Stolen Valor Act" would make it a federal crime to falsely wear the Purple Heart and other top military decorations, or to even list them on a resume if they were not officially earned.

But the proposed bill now sits in the House Judiciary Committee, and its fate remains unclear.
"We're waiting for the committee to act," said Salazar

Any Republican or Democrat politicians who don't get this bill passed is
as guilty as the phonies that this bill targets.

The Swift Boat Vets already proved, beyond a doubt,
that hanoi kerry's 1st Purple Heart is fraudulent.

A US Attorney General can get ALL of hanoi kerry's
records and once and for all prove that the
Swift Boat Vets were accurate and true.

All that has to be done is to get this bill passed and signed into law now, before the '06 election.

Since hanoi kerry will be under indictment he'll
have to sit out the '06 election for his illegal seat
in the US Senate.

AND the best part is that it is a Democrat sponsored
bill that will his downfall.

Karl Rove knew, Nov. 7, 2004 , that hanoi kerry would try to run in '08
and knew Swift Boat Vet's would be called upon,
again, to serve our country.

' Bush knew all about it! He wanted it to happen! '
So sad.
