Since "Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.", I and others think it's a good idea to centralize what the goes on in the Senate (or House).
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.
If you have any suggestions for this thread please feel free to let me know.
Here's a few helpful links.
C-SPAN what a great thing. Where you can watch or listen live to most Government happenings.
C-SPAN 1 carries the HOUSE.
C-SPAN 2 carries the SENATE.
C-SPAN 3 (most places web only) carries a variety of committee meetings live or other past programming.
OR FEDNET has online feed also.
A great thing about our Government is they make it really easy for the public to research what the Politicians are doing and saying (on the floor anyway).
THOMAS where you can see a RECORD of what Congress is doing each day. You can also search/read a verbatim text of what each Congressmen/women or Senator has said on the floor or submitted 'for the record.' [This is where the real juicy stuff can be found.]
Also found at Thomas are Monthly Calendars for the Senate Majority and Senate Minority
And Monthly Calendars for the House Majority and Roll Call Votes can be found here.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT (aka The Dept. of Defense)
No. The entire script is meant to be "how dare they do this to US."
Is this a hearing or a taping for a Democratic Campaign Commercial for November '06?
I'm confused as just to where the "friendly" witnesses are and when they will be introduced.
Is Sensebrenner going to defend the "raid" or just go along with the loons?
Bruce Fein wants to blame the President for this, but then says he can't believe the AG went ahead with this "raid" without consulting the President in advance. So it was the President's fault before it wasn't the President's fault.
I think Sensenbrenner just answered my question.
He just said the justice department did NOT get it right this time.
Joining the "how dare they" crowd seems like.
Conyers up. Bet this guy doesn't ask any leading questions. Yeah right.
Sensenbrenner is siding with the liberals about the search
BIG mistake
grrr
was to call = wants to call
Tiefer keeps saying the FBI leaked to the papers
It gives some insight into the minds of our congresscritters. I do not think most people have a clue as to how very special they think they are. Some folks even here say over and over the "they" work for us. "They" don't believe that for one minute. LOL. Conyers says telling them they would break down the door and "act of violence."
IF these congresscritters REALLY wanted to get to the bottom of this .. why didn't them have Gonzales & Meuller appear at the hearings first
This hearing is complete BS
He also has said twice that this was done with "malice aforethought."
Why Issa talking about Congress' ability to impeach the Attorney General ??
This is moving into looney tunes land. Impeach Gonzales!!!! Now Turley appears to be jumping in on the impeachment bandwagon?
Why do I get the feeling this housecritter from Maryland is trying to find out what they can get away with
LOL. Because he is trying to find out what they can get away with.
