didn't see anything about the Cynthia McKinney press conference

I didn't find it. There were a few comments on the Snow thread. Sounds like she was playing not the race card, but the entire race deck.

Specter is trying to get the judges to say that the Bureau of Immigration Appeals should NOT be part of the executive branch.

He wants Congress to pick Judges??

Arlen is apparently trying to fix something that isn't broken. He's implying undue influence on the part of the Administration in these decisions, and there's just no evidence for it.

It sounds to me as though he was to take control of the Judges

It's odd that the primary and secondary system failed. A test maybe?

Yes it is odd .. though I don't know why they would be the only one to have problems

FNC says there doesn't seem to be a big concern to evacuate like in other times

"the only one without lights is the Capital Building"

Well, that's what happens when you got a bunch of "dim bulbs" throughout the building!

Uh oh, Dorgan has an amendment to the illegal amnesty bill, and Schumer and Snowe and Jeffords are co-sponsors. Sounds like it changes the passport requirement for crossing the northern border. It appears he wants a standardized card instead. It seems to have nothing to do with the rather long speech he gave.

No, I think what he has in mind is only for those who cross the northern border with some frequency, something that would be less difficult and expensive to obtain than a passport.
