Mmm, mm, mmm....sounds good to me........... "If mistakes were the rule, the caning of senators would be in order."

What is the legal remedy if the Democrats refuse to abide by the rules, and allow the full reading?

Thank you in advance.

Get that resume' in order Girly, because it is indeed the end of your story.
2010 pal, be there or be square. LOL

"But McConnell said that the 1992 episode was a 'mistake,' and he cited another mistake: the infamous 1856 incident where Massachusetts Sen. Charles Sumner was caned by South Carolina Rep. Preston S. Brooks in the Senate chamber."

~sigh~
Just imagine how right things c/would be if only we didn't feature ourselves so civilized. LOL

I think it's a great idea. However, my idea of 'Caning' isn't exactly 'textbook'.

When I think of 'caning', I think of a movie with James Caan where he was a CIA hitman. After getting shot - 'kneecapped' and stuff, he needed a Wooden Cane to walk. He also used it as a weapon. Like the Japanese or Filipinos who 'Stick Fight'.

Due to my screwed up knees, sometimes I 'need' to use a Wooden Cane. And like James Caan in the movie, my 'cane' ain't just for walking ;-)
