Is anyone listening to Elliott about Cheney sponsoring a bill in

[napi21]

the House and one in the Senate? He's talking about Spector/Cheney bill in the Senate & a Cheney/Wilson bill in the House to permanently allow spying without oversight.

1. Yep. I'm starting to freak out.

Things are moving sooooo fast. It's frightening.:hide:

2. Is Cheney allowed to do that? I always thought the VP power

was limited to a tie breaking vote in the Senate. I didn't think he had the right to sponsor bills!!!!

[fooj]

4. Since when do they follow the RULE OF LAW?

I'm concerned. Truly.

5. But don't you think the Senators of both parties would be pissed?

Yet again, the Executive Branch is grabbing power from the Legislative Branch. I would think,especially the long term ones, would be really pissed about this!

6. All I know is that it feels as though ALL HELL is about to break loose!

7. Well, let me quote a recording I hear from my cable Co. when

I call to gripe.

Sign up and HOLD ON!!!!!

I'm ready for anything! And I'll fight the b'ds with every thing I have!!!!

8. In any other context....

i'd call this a baseless red-herring. Only currently sitting members of Congress (which does NOT include the v.p.) may introduce legislation. Of course, in our post-republic empire....who knows. Very scary.
