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 --

"be aware that 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."

ok, but the statement issued by Inhofe's office implies the--their words--"Republican minority" agreed to an extension (or contraction?) of the 48 hour deadline to a 24 hour deadline, and also agreed to the expanded opening statement.

So if Boxer has ultimate say about opening statements, time limits, blah blah blah and she can rule the Committee with an iron fist---"rules" be damned...

Why would Inhofe credit himself for abiding the first two of Gore's attempts at 'misbehavin' towards the Senate Rules until he protested the last one?

Three strikes your out? Third piggy house--the one of brick? Third bowl of Bear's porridge (Just Tastes Right!)?
