A historic moment in constitutional history. Only been done once before -- in 1878. We now have breached the silence that always prevented the house and senate from employing this statue. We not only got Senator Boxer, we got 5 other senators (is he referring to their speaking?)
Gratitude to judiciary staff that worked on the document. Tremendous document. Going into congressional record.
Re: MM. the only place in the election of 2000 that you saw CBC trying to get recognized was in the documentary, that's why the whole thing was to demonize more. he brought the truth to the american people.

Arguments that the other side used were insulting. Nobody ever said that K was the winner. No one ever claimed that there was fraud. We made many reference to suspicious but we never made the attacks they say they did. I am so proud of everybody here for forcing this to a head because they know we can use it from now on. WoooooT!

18. Q: Re Green and Lib party helping. Now that they have helped, |
|
will you support instant runoff voting?
Conyers says has not taken a position on it as caucus.
JJ Jr speaks, has supported IRV. May not have been answer to what took place in FLA or OH. CBC has been looking at voting system nationally. Says it's something they're looking hard at. Points out as long as election systems are administered by states, will always be seperate and unequal. Wants congress to establish a unitary system -- maybe discuss IRV at that time.

Question is, how does what happen today affect Moss?
S T-J -- someone who makes allegation must prove it in a court of law. Can't really speak to it. Thanks her staff.

22. Q: How will CBC participate in inauguration activieis? |
|
Mostly they're setting their own agenda. Until then, individual members of caucus will be doing their own thing, that includes inaugration.
I :loveya: CBC.

25. Q: How did you get here? |
|
A: This is not a CBC action, CBC does not have standing. S T J filed challenge. if you look at the report you will find much in there to justify report.
Speaking: Rep Walt (?) D-North Carolina
Q: How much of this an extended reaction to 2000?
this is not a rx, this in an ACTION.
Ooo, back to the house. eh, wassup with CSPAN?
Think the show's over.
