I might take back some of the things I have said about him .

I won't. But maybe in the future I'll moderate my comments about him just a tad.

I cursed him plenty during the impeachment trial . I did not really consider it at the time , but him pulling that Scottish law “not proven verdict” out of his tam o’shanter , probably saved us from about 9 years of President Algore .

They have to put a bill up on the internet after it's voted on for people to see it before the president signs it.

That's my take on this "rule"

This is Specter asking for it to be put up 24 hrs before the vote so citizens can give feedback before it is voted upon.

OMG. I actually agree with something Anal Sphincter says.
I wonder which one of his conservative constituents gave him the idea?

Thanks for the explanation. I think they are getting a pretty good earful anyway. I can’t believe they want to do this over the objections of a huge majority of the people. WE didn’t cause this. Politicians and lenders did.

I thought Rush said yesterday that they were “obliged” to do this under some thing Clinton came up with.
*************

Yes, but . . . I think the concern was that since this was an emergency bill they may not post it. I think it is a great idea for the 24 hour review.

Right you are. That was the excuse Rush said they would give for not posting it. An “emergency” bill. Gotta be done now by Monday. I thought it was Friday but I’ve been corrected.

Indeed there is great distrust of the news media in the USA, for they are not news casters telling the news, they are liars that exploit whomever they will. Even Public Television is not trust worthy. All on CBS in the tank for Obama. It seems like a conspiracy.

Arlen encouraging we follow Constitutional process. Dems don’t want that. If we get it on the internet, I’ll eat my hat.

Won't happen.

This is the coup that they have been waiting for to long. The final move to socialism. They won't televise the revolution.

-- Thats SOP. Legislation eminating from the Senate gets published in the Thomas registry for a 5 day perusal --

No it doesn't. Plenty of stuff starts in the Senate, and is passed, with not so much as a moment of public availability.

I heard on Fox earlier theres no way to undo the acorn money

Since it's even possible to change even the constitution, and since not a single member of congress has voted yet, much yet any bill actually being writte, what you heard on Fox is bovine waste.

Any bill with a penny for acorn should be DOA.

Thats right ! But this should ! Senate conservatives should slow this thing down by demanding this gets published. Giving conservatives the chance to accurately research their case against it and present it. So the American public gets to understand how this happened and the complicity by MSM and the socialist doctrinal complexities that caused it. By the way South Africa is experiencing a similar situation, and the socialist/communists are winning that one.
