This stuff is so interesting. It paints such a vivid picture. There is a snowstorm in the Capital. A resolution is made to give some spare wood from the Capital to the poor, who are burning any wood they can find. The S. Carolinian rises in opposition, on strict constructionist grounds. Then, word is passed that the impeachment of a judge is underway. Short discussion on what to do. Run right over or vote on the resolution? How about we lay the resolution on the table (procedural speak for officially puting it aside without consideration). That is rejected, a vote is taken, the resoltution passes. They poor get the wood, and they move on to Judge Peck's impeachment. I could read this stuff all day (hell, it's 6am on Saturday as I write!)
