Feingold: I request to see the proxies given by the Republican senator(s).
Specter: The practice is to rely on the staffers. Without counting that vote, well, we can rephrase the question if there's a serious challenge to the proxy.
Keep it up Dems ... You are ticking Spector off
Sessions: I'm sure the AG won't perjure himself in any way and I remember having a conversation with Myers and Rumsfeld and one of the saddest days in their career was having to come into a senate committee and raise their hand as though they'd lie to this country. Having to routinely stand up and give an oath when they are under oath basically and must tell the truth. It's a question of propriety.
Specter: Let's not have a protracted discussion about this. We have the votes.
Leahy making opening statement now.
What would we do without your fantastic skills at transcribing as fast as you do???
THANK YOU!
