We need to tell Barbara Boxer, John Kerry, etc
To stop any consideration of Roberts until the Plame investigation is done!

3. You do realize that's not in our control, right?
Majority party sets the agenda for the Senate, and we are not the majority.

4.  just thought they should wait a while
all I am hearng is that Roberts will slide right through. I guess it never hurts to Email our Senators with what we the American people would like.

5. But how do they wait?
I understand what you want to have happen, and I'm sure they do too, but how do you propose they accomplish that with no power to stall anything?

6. How about demanding the info on Roberts
and stand their ground till they get what they want? I don't know anything about all of this, but this Roberts guy can't just sail through.

7. Again, stand what ground?
The Republicans can force a vote at any time. Today if they truly wanted to. We have no power to "stand our ground". We have no power whatsoever to stall this.

8. Never mind
We The American people need to tell our Senators and anyone else who matters or will listen, what it is WE want. If we are silent, then they will think we don't care! That's all we can do.
