Work out of the house for the most part and usually have the Senate on the in the background on CSPAN. Started noticing shortly after Hillary was elected and Senators like the Widow Carnahan, Murry and others started stopping by Hillary and should would nod and then they would vote -- didn't take long to figure out they were stopping by her to see how to vote.

Then I noticed Sen Breaux coming down the aisle more and more with Republicans. Very seldom have I seen in on the floor of the Senate hear her. Doubt if he would cross the aisle but Senator Breaux has been a long time friend of the Bush Family. I put Breaux in the same category as Sam Nunn and David Boren, two former Senators, who would cross the aisle to vote with Repubicans.

In fact David Boren was right there in the fight to confirm Thomas and retired early from the Senate when Clinton was in power for a short time! Boren also called the first night of Monica for clinton to resign! He is our President at the University of Oklahoma and ran Anita Hill off from the OU Law School!

People like Breaux, Nunn, and Boren are examples of Democrats that I could disagree with but still respect! Not many left in the Senate and after Miller goes, there will be one less.

The Democrat Party has totally become Clintonized!

Thanks for the information. Am going to have to be gone again today. Will check back in in twelve hour. Boo

I hope I miss really good things and that we have a new judge by then. However, really expect at least one all nighter.

Please 'ping' me to any juicy tidbits during the day. I'll catch up later.

Good morning! I am assuming that the system is slow for everyone today. I also have seen a few disrupters. I think we are under Rat attack.

Anyway, I have a few suggestions for the live thread today if the system is slow.

We should avoid pictures and graphics for those who have slow dial-up systems.

Also, I think we should try to stagger who reports on what each Senator says. I will take a couple of Rats as a public service to the forum, and others can transcribe some of the Republicans. That way we won't all be posting duplicate information on what Hatch says, for example.

This might not be necessary as they may get the system back up to speed before noon, but if it is necessary I thought this might help. Do you guys think this is an ok plan? Let me know.
