Let's see what Sensenbrenner does on the Patriot Act. Have I told you lately how much I hate repukes?

Sensenbrenner is the first one on the floor. :puke:

That the sargeant at arms has a special tranquilizer gun at his disposal, in case Mrs. Sensenbrenner's little boy gets himself just a tad too wound up. Just in case.

I cannot understand how a state full of such wonderful folks can send that knucklehead to represent them in Washington.

God I hate this guy.

extension of The PA (he read a letter from Pelosi...WTF? where's she at?). Now what? Does the Senate have to come back and redo?

This is too much to to take!!!!! I need some Merlot NOW!!!!!!:shrug: :hug: :cry:

the radio?

It is not on any basic radio that I am aware of.....I have Sirius.

I made a big booboo in an earlier post....I named Senenbrenner thinking of Sununu....I have to go find the post and fix it.....This is getting toooo stressful.

He finds the behavior of the Senate Gutless! Tell em!

The Senate got the 6 month extension for Patriot Act with future hearings. The House let it all pass. I might disagree.

the cuts to social programs and the inclusion of the 'get away with poisoning people' clause that lets Pharm co's get away with giving us bad vaccines.

ANWR, Katrina Relief, and Bird Flu language. Obey is objecting to the Bird Flu language which gives them absolutely NO accountability if they screw up and say ... give us tainted vaccine like they would have done LAST year if the vaccine maker hadn't blown his own whistle.

Seems Frist was into the rules violation up to his neck too.

Remember Kucinich asked Hunter if it was in there on Sunday night and Hunter lied to him.

shoving down their throats? Obey made it sound like they wanted it in when it went over, even if the conference had never seen it or agreed to it.

Isn't that the basis of the rule that they broke? They shoved it in after even the House had signed off on it. Am I mistaken? (it could very easily happen these days too. They speak with forked tongues most times!)

But two girls in Vietnam died of the bird flu, despite being given Tamiflu and other aggressive treatments.

Two teenagers who died of avian influenza in Vietnam earlier this year developed drug-resistant strains of the virus during treatment with Tamiflu, raising questions about the world's reliance on the pills as the first line of defense against a potential flu pandemic.

now I'm confused...someone un-confuse me.

the last hour. Obey was saying how Frist and the Speaker came to twist his arm to add these 40 pages AFTER they had signed off on it. It appears to me that all of that was included in those 40 pages they strong armed into the bill.

bill, they wouldn't be there???!!!! THE ARROGANCE OF THOSE BASTARDS IS MIND-BOGGLING!

If more dems are present, then we win?

Ignoring the will of his constituents and the devastating results that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has had on his state, Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) became a deciding “yes” vote for a six-nation NAFTA expansion called the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), which eked through the House of Representatives 217 to 215. Many of Fitzpatrick’s constituents were opposed to both trade agreements, as Pennsylvania has lost nearly a quarter of its manufacturing jobs since NAFTA.

Is that what they do? YUP...he's adjourning!

The House extended the PA 5 weeks? Is that what I just heard the C-SPAN man say? UGH! Sensenbrenner is on.

adjourned

Unless the Senate does something.

Defense Bill was passed with no ANWR so thats done.

Patriot Act ext for 5 weeks.

Senate back tonite at 8pm.

sends it back to the House for the 6 month extension? Sensenbrenner is SUCH A DICK!

tonight and not be present for voting and they can slide something through that way??) or they'll take it up again on the 26th.

Press conference.

Hes fucking ripping the Senate.

He's such an ass.

:grr: Looks like the Patriot Act will EXPIRE. The Senate will NOT pass that piece of shit bill.

Its a worthless piece of shit.

"Just Do It" is his policy.

I didnt want to wait till June 30 and wreck everyones Independence Day.

in DC for their Holidays. Teach 'em all a lesson.:grr:

Nevermind his time management lesson offering to the Senate.

so pres would not be forced to call special session next week. Not since 1933. What this does, Senate will be back 1/18. Will force them to deal with conference report. Never take anything up except 1 week before deadline. Accept conference erpot, over 30 civil liberties or vote for extensions that do not contain safeguards.

Fucking lying pricK!!

No. I spent part of this year 11 hearings. Full blown debate in House. Negotiating with Senate. The House has done its work on PA and negotiated conf report supported by 44 representatives. We did a good job on report. Filibuster by dems is against even considering cafefully thought out conference report. Proud of my committee.

The choice Senate has is accept conference report with protections or voting to extend the existing law and continue to negotiate. Conf report can't be re-opened because 1 House adopted the report.

S: Private discussion. What I said "I did not want to leave the public more vulnerable because of filibuster. 6-mo extension would have allowed Senat to duck the issue in June. Wrecking Christmas don't want them to wreck Independence Day."

Won't admit who he talked to. Plenty of time. Either go to conf report or series of extension w/o protections.

Also by unanimous consent and took up Senate bill. If the Senate rejects either alternative, I guess we are back here next week. Senate dragged us back, not the president and not the House.

Fucker!

of the Senate!

The 5 week extension will give the Senate PLENTY OF TIME to reconsider the bill. Yeah RIGHT - they reconvene Jan 26 (?) and it has to be passed by Feb 3?!?!?

:puke:

If Senate wants lessons I'll be happy to give them to them.

He backed me to the gills.

Sensenbrenner needs to take a slow boat out of town with Stevens. They can spend their vacation whining and crying on each others shoulders.

Minority of obstructionists blocked from president's desk.

Senate has to make decisions. Up or down whether conf report with 30 carefully crafted protections becomes law. They can't have it both ways. Have to make up their mind by Feb. 3rd.

Asshole

:grr:

about spying on Americans are forthcoming from the New York Times.

of incriminating news about BushCo.

Not that anyone needs another freakin doughnut at the time of year.

That said, the senate is supposed to be in session some time tonight to vote on the new time frame of the Patriot Act.
