1. Boy does Sensenbrenner really hate Conyers

Can't wait to gavel him down and end this. Sensenbrenner is such an awful person.

[TayTay]

4. Rep Delahunt (D-MA) speaking

In suport of Rep Conyers motion. Delahunt is making the oft-made argument that Congress is abrogating it's responsibilities in not requesting the documentation be sent.

Delahunt is a former DA. He knows whereof he speak when he says that asking for this info will not impede the case or interfere in a judicial matter.

EDIT: Delahunt is giving a cook's tour of cases in which Congress requested papers on on-going investigations.

No new info here, the startling thing is that he is doing it at all.

2. FEED THE CUBE RATS

puleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze

[Coexist]

3. yes, please!!!

[Alizaryn]

5. What TayTay said about is the sum of it.

Sensenbrenner gleefully said "the gentleman's time has expired" in his typical whiney slit eyes style.

[TayTay]

7. Well, my Cong. voted NO

Thanks Marty Meehan. (And Bill Delahunt.)

And all my love to John Conyers. Just love ya for doing this.

[jim3775]

8. The repubs agreed to "report the motion adversely"

I have no idea what that means.

[Coexist]

9. thanks for the updates.

[The Witch]

10. can anybody explain it?

:shrug:

[The Witch]

12. Found this on reporting adversely

Reporting unfavorably or adversely usually implies that the party leadership believes that a majority on the floor supports a measure, even though a majority of a committee does not. However, a bill reported adversely is laid on the table in the House unless the reporting committeeor an individual Member requests its reference to a calendar. Adverse reports are rare because committees do not normally report bills without support by a majority of a committee’s members.

[peacetalksforall]

15. What is the difference between laying it on a table and referencing it

to a calendar?

Thanks.

[The Witch]

18. tabling an issue kills it.

Putting it on a calendar means the House actually discusses/votes on it.

[madokie]

20. Acting against or in a contrary direction

[ohio_liberal]

11. I can't get the danged link to play at the Jud. Website

17. The House Internation Relations committee link

is live now.

[jim3775]

19. Hyde is attacking the DSM

saying it is nothing new.

[Alizaryn]

21. At least he has a voice that does not send the feeling

of spiders crawling up my spine.
He is basically saying that Senator Roberts said his committee found nothing when examining the issue to show any sign of fixing.

[defiant1]

22. If Conyers runs for President in '08....

I'd be happy to vote democrat.

:thumbsup:

[helderheid]

23. I love him

[Alizaryn]

24. He does not quit.

They said that sharing communications of coversations between our president and other world leaders would be a dangerous precident.
