The basic "turnspin" is that it was the liberal led senate that blocked the formation of the Office of Homeland Security to protect the needs of their main lobby group, the trial lawyers. If memory serves me correct, it took the regaining of the senate, after Jeffords was "bought" by the liberals for a committee seat, to get it done.

Your memory is correct -- Jeffords, the turncoat, was the one responsible! Whatever the RATs offered him must have been an offer he couldn't refuse. Would sure like to know what that was!
