Do Congressional Democrats have a game plan regarding DSM? |
|
Do you think that the House and Senate Democrats have a coordinated plan on DSM? Except for John Conyers, it has been basically quiet in the Capitol, though I've heard rumors of circulating letters, trips to London, etc. I'm wondering if there is some kind of plan of attack among the Democrats in order to keep this before the public and building for maximum effect.

1. Here's the hump that must be dealt with in the Senate: |

Rule 6. Investigations
No investigation shall be initiated by the Committee unless at least five members of the Committee have specifically requested the Chairman or the Vice Chairman to authorize such an investigation. Authorized investigations may be conducted by members of the Committee and/or designated Committee staff members.
Kerry needs four other senators to join him...I'm pretty sure he has a couple signed already. The senate Intel Committee had two meetings scheduled for two days. We'll soon know.

We're not letting it go. And the longer it sits in there, slowly growing, a small mention in the press here, little questions there. The story is moving forword at a nice pace. The public is disaproving of (*) more and more. When the time is right, I hope, they will make there move and bring down these neocons.
