WOW....Sen. Rockefeller is up on the Senate floor..saying he is “FURIOUS, double crossed”....
He said that he and Bond had worked for weeks for the Manager’s bill for the Intelligence Committee..they “both gave up things they wanted”...
But, “word came down from the White House through the Minority leader that today’s vote was a TEST...a test of loyalty to the President”
“this act of cynicism...this act of PARTISAN POLITICS..is digraceful..the President and the minority have put POLITICS over NATIONAL SECURITY”
ROCKY is shocked!!!!
Oh..dear...he is using the shooting today....to be mad that this happened today...and what IF they needed intelligence to help that...but because this bill didn’t get passed..maybe something like that would be stopped..blah, blah.
Durbin asked to speak..Rocky wouldn’t let him....LOL
He did say that 3 Republicans “didn’t go along with this political game”...but he wouldn’t name them...he wanted to spare them embarrassment???
Let me guess.. Hagel..Bond (it was his bill)..and Specter or Warner.
Durbin is having a cat fit. :)
A test???
