During the debate on the Iraq resolution, Senators Thurmond was given time to make a statement about the travesty pulled by Senator Leahy in the Judiciary Committee yesterday. Reid, standing in for the coward Leahy tried to make excuses and then Senator Hatch ripped some new ones.
The travesty is described in the Washington Times article:
"Senate Democrats snub Thurmond's nominee" is at:

From your link...
" Last year, Mr. Thurmond also complained that Senate Democrats objected to a late-night gentleman's agreement that would have allowed the aging and frail South Carolina Republican to go home during marathon voting on tax cuts. Democrats denied the accusation, saying the Senate simply adjourned for the night before the kind-hearted agreement could be worked out."
Real nice...
