Bru. Let's all cry "Peace, freedom, and liberty!"
Cass. Stoop then, and wash.
Wash, indeed. It's going to take a lot of something to "... wash this filthy witness from your hand(s)." One could continue with appropriate quotes but it is wide of the mark to take John McCain's pathetic greed to be noticed for anything as noble as ambition.
There is an excellent tale of a little boy and a pony from Rusty illuminating the naivete ( or disengenousness) of some these folks. Vichy Republicans Sounds like an excellent remodel of RINO And Sissy Willis speaks on busy fingers.
So far, Hugh Hewitt seems to have one of the more comprehensive views on this debacle and it's future implications.
It is impossible to say whether this is a "terrible" deal, a "bad" deal, or a very, very marginally "ok" deal, but it surely is not a good deal.
Hugh, it reeks. In addition to providing another reason for Republicans to desert or ignore their party, there's the extraordinary circumstances option. Ie. "we, the Dems, get to do what we want, when we want and how we want' to frustrate the President's mandated duty to appoint federal judges and, if so desired, exercize prior restraint on the Executive.
Just what the hell do you think is going to happen when a Supreme Court nomination arrives? Add to that the prospect of Hellery in the White House and a diminished Republican presence in congress opening the way for the FDR option if the Dems can retard the business of government enough until 2008.
So as my finger slowly relaxes, (and not from clicking the remote) it may be time to consider other options. Some favor Nuclear, some will embrace the whores of "compromise" amd some will estivate in the comfort of "wait and see". Personally, I'm giving thought to moving back into the garden and assuaging my rage with a new mantra:
What, me worry?
Update: In some congress-related surfing, I just came across this:
"In the federal law of the United States, contempt of Congress is the crime of obstructing the work of U.S. Congress, with a punishment of up to one year in prison and up to $1,000 in fines.
It's a Crime?
