Sanchez is a realist.
Giffords will not return for many months, if ever.
I think Congresswoman Sanchez has a good shot at getting a seat on Obama’s Death Panels if she wants it.
We have a committee that was formed, and chaired by a Congresswoman who is physically incapable of fulfilling the role for which she was appointed.
So - shouldn't a conscientious person say “I cannot fulfill the duties for the job for which I was elected, I nominate my Husband to fulfill the term of office for which I was elected”? Historically, more than a few women have completed the term of office when their husbands were unable to complete their term.
Or, do we all wring out hands and let the committee sit in limbo indefinitely?
Well so much for leaving an empty seat for their Colleague. Hypocrits. Politics over eveything.
I’m no Sanchez fan but I don’t see the issue here. When the starting quarterback goes down you put in the back up. You don’t say, “we’re going to go without a quarterback until we know how long before the starter can come back because to do otherwise would be insensitive”. That committe seat will be waiting for her if and when she gets back. So what’s the big deal about suggesting that someone else fill in until she gets back? That’s what any other entity would do in that situation - what makes congress different?
By my count, there are 62 members of this committee, so I don’t think they’ll miss her....
But, the people of her district are going to be without a representative in all things congress does. Her term is two years long. How long will the recovery take? Probably a good chunk of that term.
This probably needed to be brought up...probably by the people of Arizona, though.
We give the seat and the assinfment to Robert Kenneth Patrick Dornan
(AKA B1Bob)
the guy you stole your house seat from
Do we have a deal?
Have you no sense of decency, Ms. Sanchez?
Darwinsm rules the democrat party. What next?
Sanchez is the person who defeated B-1 Bob Dornan with thousands of illegal votes.
She & her sister are each a real piece of work.
Sooner or later someone had to say it.
She does need to be replaced , I doubt she will ever be back.
