And to cover their “ethics”, the gov’t trotted out a video captured last week that shows children in Al Qaida. Imagine that. Some of those kids could hardly walk when we began the occupation.

I’m wondering the same thing. Starting with McConnell’s sudden declaration yesterday that they wanted to start working on the economic stimulus package. I was left wondering if maybe they were losing some votes and McConnell needed some time to whip them back into line.

I called a lot of Republican Senators on the call list today. Only one of them (Snowe, I believe) had a statement where she actually said that she supported immunity. None of the others was willing to state a position on immunity.

The degree of criminal conduct underway is simply staggering…

Hades is there for a purpose.

Our current crop of criminals can’t get there soon enough ; )

Thanks Mary. I really really appreciate your comments on these topics. The degree of criminal conduct underway is simply staggering…

But the staffers of the Senators say they “may” present it today. I’m looking for clarification what that means now, but there is some resistance to presenting it today.

There was express resistance to presenting it today, with the expression coming from McConnell. Were the staffers aware that McConnell had switched his position?

Senator Feingold introduced 3912 and 3913, then yielded the floor, so he may be waiting for a bigger audience before delivering his opening on “Strip Title II.”

phred - to carry forward with the problem that thorough investigations and resolution of any of these issues really do, far too often, dip their toes in the Clinton Years Waters, here is a Salon article on contractors in Bosnia:

http://dir.salon.com/story/new.....index.html

titled “Outside the Law”

Pending lawsuits allege that U.S. military contractors on duty in Bosnia bought and “owned” young women. But the accused men have never been — and will never be — brought to justice.

The timing of the final passage vote is at least two days out, and if cloture runs its usual course, final passage couldn’t happen before Friday.

That timeline depends on a cloture motion on final passage of FISA being filed today. I expected that cloture motion to have been filed yesterday. Each day that motion isn’t filed is a POTENTIAL (not inevitable) one day delay in sending FISA to the House.
