VIDEO:Sensenbrenner CAUGHT once again with a "gavel moment"!
Edited on Thu Jun-29-06 02:42 PM by cal04
The other day in the Judiciary Committee there was another of Sensenbrenner’s "I’m going to take my gavel and home" episodes. Democrats defeated the Republican Pledge Protection Act (court stripping legislation) and, in violation of Committee procedures, Sensenbrenner refused to allow the vote to count. Even though the vote was already taken and the measure defeated, he is trying to bring the bill up again today like nothing happened.

Video -QT Video-WMP (This clip is in two parts and are editied together)

You can see Sensenbrenner scambling to adjorn in the first segment. He tries to explain the rules as he sees them to Rep. Conyers who is objecting to Sensenbrenner’s actions. At the end of the clip Sensenbrenner makes believe that he never heard Conyers complaint in the first place. That’s honesty I tell you.! The graphic I posted is the time when Sensenbrenner is explaining the rules to Conyers.

1. Repukes don't think rules apply to them.
Rules are things they make to keep OTHER people in line.
:grr:

2. This guy is a fat pile of shit, and a walking case for term limits
These dinosaur congressmen never go away. They just keep getting re-elected over and over and over again.
