Senate Republicans Fight Hard on 'Rove' Amendment. Live on CSPAN2

CSPAN2 | 7/14/05

Anybody else watching the Senate on CSPAN 2? Reid just had his "Carl Rove' amendment to the Homeland Security funding bill read and spoke for about five minutes bashing Rove and Bush.

THEN, the clerk read an amendment proposed by Bill Frist that any office holder who discloses classified FBI information on the Senate floor and uses it to denigrate the U.S. military should have HIS security clearence removed. DURBIN alert!

Wow! Great stuff. Turn on CSPAN 2 immediately!

[BlueOx]

I haven't seen REID forawhile ... he's gotten old looking and lost weight!! Pressure must be taking it's toll on the old boy.

AP Report: Rep Cunningham of CA to retire.

Not sure who that is

[Jim Noble]

Why do the Republicans have to fight?

Don't they have a five-seat majority?

[rhema]

It went down by straight party-line vote, it appears.

That'll teach me to vainly believe in incipient signs of sanity from a Democrat Senator anywhere, anytime.

[Soul Seeker]

Good guess. Were two Reps gone for the day then?

Uh, yes, which just prevailed on the party line vote that just concluded.

[Brimack34]

Was it Durbin or Levin that released info on our secret weapons program?

[LisaFab]

You know the answer to that, don't you Jim? We've gotta keep our RINOs well-fed and happy! :-)

[Republican Wildcat]

A Boxer-Inhofe amendment? That is very strange.

[LisaFab]

I thought it was Bill Clinton :-)

No kidding! Not a single cRATS had the fortitude and/or integrity to call BS on this obvious travesty! All of this crap based upon news reports ~speculation, rumor and innuendo ~ the hell with the official investigation ~ obviously truth and justice are without merit to the elected members of that party!

I expected a no vote from the likes of my Dem Senator, Brave Sir Robin Dayton, but I was hoping for a smidgeon of integrity and courage in at least one Democrat.

So what's happening? I don't get why it's taking so long.

[Amalie]

No C-SPAN here. Any more news on the amendment you mentioned?...

[queenkathy]

which ammendment just passed?

[meema]

I'm glad we put something up though.

Me, too.

It was allowed through after a brief recess ("quorum call") for McCain to look at the amendment.
