The Senate has rules?

Sorry Inhofe, but if you admit being complicit in 'allowing' someone to waive the rules on two prior occasions don't expect them to follow them later.

How right you are! Al Gore was probably too busy watching American Idol to get his testimony turned in on time.

In an interview today in Fox, Barbara Boxer said she can name at leat four Republicans who did not submitted copies of their work 48 hours prior to testifying.

Be aware that it is at the chairman's discretion to waive the 48 hour rule. In other words, it's all up to Barbara Boxer, therefore no rule was violated.

HEMMER: I'm hearing differently, Senator. I'm hearing that everybody hands their stuff in on time. Is that not the case?

BOXER: Well, I have the names of four witnesses -- if you want to give me -- I can come back after the break and read it right to you, the four Republican witnesses who never did --
