Not Voting - 1 Inouye (D-HI)<<<<<<<<<<<< Signatory to the deal.....

Here's the "excuse" - "But, but, but cloture was invoked anyway, so the spirit of the deal wasn't broken."

Right. And neither would Graham or Dewine be breaking it.

I think Arlen correctly saw his chairmanship losing power.
He's NOT happy with the deal at all. Thw two GOP memebers on his committe and also in the cabal are DeWine and Graham. NO demcrat in the cabal is on the Judiciary!

What the Committee member democrats could not accomplish, the cabal has done for them.

Arlen saw this and sees this now.


I agree with you on Frist. He's not done yet. Far from it.

<< Sure sounds like they took his Committee Chairmanship away from Specter >>

Well heck -- they took leadership from the GOP, and a voice from the voters who put the GOP in charge. Why not?

He's trying to find where it says there is something wrong with saying the "n" word.

Call them out. See who is for us and against us, and let the chips fall where they may.

The GOP needs to either play hardball, or just say that they are the red DNC. I am sick of this.

I just called Inouye's office and got through on 1st ring. Woman there said she was not sure whether or not he was on the senate floor today. I gave her my reason for calling......concluding w/the question that since he had pledge to vote for cloture, then was not "the deal" broken? She claimed she did not know....yada. I asked her to ask HIM my question.
