Rats trying to run the committee before any questions start.
Dems: Swear him in! Swear him in!!
[They hope he might say something they can hang him for later.]
Specter resisting, saying it is not necessary.
Dems whining.
Specter: Chairman (Specter) has ruled. [Calls for vote]
Dems: Call for roll call vote. [Talk about stupid.]
Specter: Enough votes already. The Ayes have it.
Feingold: Demands to see proxies of Senators not present.
[Dems are trying to maneuver, since 2 Pubbies are missing from the committee.]
