4. Has it started?

So far, I'm seeing a presser with Musharaff

[in_cog_ni_to]

7. No. Starts at 10:15 ET...1 minute to go!

[in_cog_ni_to]

5. I'm ready!!!

[oldgrowth]

6. Why are most of the hot ones on cspan3??

[spotbird]

12. When congress is in session ,

I & II are required to cover the floor, if there is something going on there.

[MrMickeysMom]

13. Um, to keep the unwashed masses ignorant? Just guessing

[shadowknows69]

29. Ding Ding Ding

I'd don't even get in on my cable and I'm pretty much upper tier.

[MrMickeysMom]

34. Me, too!

[blogslut]

15. Legal contracts

C-Span has to cover the house and senate when they're in session. Therefore, the other stuff happens on C-Span 3

[kma3346]

16. Easy answer to that one!

I'm pretty sure that it's because that's the only one you can't see on the TV. You have to view it on the Internet. (Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone...)

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. C-SPAN 1 is for the House legislative business and C-SPAN 2 is for Senate legislative business and

when either chamber is in session, C-SPAN must cover them. That's why C-SPAN exists. C-SPAN 3 is for all the hearings and any other political issues that don't happen in the House and Senate.:)

[oldgrowth]

31. Thanks ,they need to put span3 on TV

[in_cog_ni_to]

45. It IS on Teevee! Ask your cable company to make it available. That's what I did and am now going to

be getting it STARTING ON SEPTEMBER 18 !!!!!!!!:bounce::bounce:

I emailed them and explained how beneficial C-SPAN 3 would be to the Citizens and ESPECIALLY in our schools so the children can see how their government operates 'in real time' and it worked! I cannot WAIT!

Email and call your cable company! Mine is Comcast.

[Richard Steele]

8. ready and streaming

[Buttercup McToots]

I'm an hour later than you :)

[Hepburn]

28. I am an early bird.....love the mornings.

Hope I end up loving this AM in particular.

I feel like a cheerleader: "Hold 'em, hold 'em, hold 'em in contempt!"

[bdamomma]

39. oh the code pinkers probably will be there.

[helderheid]

48. "knock 'em, sock 'em, Yes, yes, yes!"

[shadowknows69]

21. this only needs a majority vote right?

will the rethugs fillibuster?

[blogslut]

30. They can't

The Congress doesn't do filibusters

[MiniMe]

49. No fillibusters in the House

In the Senate only

[VP505]

23. Another

waste of time??? Sorry to sound cynical but they keep having hearings and nothing changes, Bu$hCo keeps lying, his apologists keep lying, the RePublics keep obstructing and lying and our troops are still dying. I'll try to cowboy up and have some hope that SOMETHING will get done.

[woodsprite]

24. Yup - got my coffee. No popcorn, so I had to go with animal crackers. n/t

[L. Coyote]

78. Now there's an idea. Bush, Cheney, Gonzo, Harriet, et.al. animal crackers!

Difficult to swallow, fun to chew up and spit out! Keep away from children.

The Bottom Line:


"The horses are on the track"

Theres a new dance thats going around
When the hits start flying you gotta get down
All the young people dance round the square
That old time groove is really nowhere

So when you reach the bottom line
The only thing to do is climb
Pick yourself up of the floor
Don`t know what you`re waiting for

A dance to the tune of economic decline
Is when you do the bottom line
Nagging questions always remain
Why did it happen and who was to blame?

When you reach the bottom line
The only thing to do is climb
Pick yourself up of the floor
Don`t know what you`re waiting for

The the the the the the horse the the horses are on the track

They`ve been doing it down at the zoo
And I can show ya heres what to do
All of the States and over UK
Even the Soviets are swinging away

When you reach the bottom line
The only thing to do is climb
Pick yourself up of the floor
Anything you want is yours

The road aheads` clear as a motorway
Give us this day our daily bread and send us on our way
Perchance to dream or take a holiday
Romeo oh Romeo
You gotta have your say

When you reach the bottom line
The only thing to do is climb
Pick yourself up off the floor
Don't know what you're waiting for

So when you reach the bottom line
The only thing to do is climb
Pick yourself up off the floor
Anything you want is yours

Part two - Part two
I`m gonna take you to part two part two

[malaise]

40. Resolution being read

without objection says Conyers. Let me begin...recommending that the house cite Miers and Bolton for contempt. Not a step I take easily or lightly....

[Hepburn]

41. I got goose bumps just hearing the report being read

by the Clerk when she said about the issue of contempt!

<swoon>

[rodeodance]

42. Clerk is reading the Report--REsolution for Contempt . HO HO its has BEGUN

[MrMickeysMom]

43. Conyers had a hard time say, "co-equal branch of govt."!

[helderheid]

50. "This is a confrontation we have not sought"

[rodeodance]

53. looking ahead---I have not heard that Conyers will consider going the House

trial route. I keep hearing this will go to DC court which has a Bush appointee as judge.


What have you all heard.???

[Hissyspit]

54. Conyers previously:

The investigation "has uncovered serious evidence of wrongdoing by the department and White House staff," Conyers says.

[MiniMe]

55. Says that they need to do this to preserve their rights

Because nobody will come to testify if they don't enforce this now.

[bdamomma]

56. they will not work with no one Chairman Conyers.

[MrMickeysMom]

57. Mr. Conyers, "congress's rights = people's rights!", sir

[marmar]

60. How can one state produce so much political trash? (Texas)

Lamar Smith is yet another piece of refuse for the pile.

[rodeodance]

59. Smith, R of TX who is the Monority chair. I do not think he is online with Conyers!

[rodeodance]

67. oh oh-----------the Mantra of "clinton did it" yugga ugggga!!!!!

[rodeodance]

77. hey he stole our words---Smith saying the Majority is OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY!!

[PRETZEL]

76. That may be an understatement,

He's setting the tone for a very bitter meeting.

He's absoluteley wrong and has already set the tone the "Clinton did it more"

[tridim]

81. The Clenis defense, of course..

:eyes: Just give it a rest Repukes.

[Hepburn]

61. LaMarr Smith....

...a Repuke from TX....is up and yammering about how bad Clinton was....and not addressing one damn issue. Big surprise...NOT!

[Solly Mack]

62. and he really thinks he's making a point (Smith)

[MrMickeysMom]

63. Lamar, blaming Clinton and representing NO ONE from Tx, is no way to

... go through life.

ENOUGH OF THE CLINTON BULLSHIT!

[mod mom]

64. Lamar Smith compares Bush & Clinton again. No evidence of wrong doing.

[InkAddict]

65. A Compromise?

Would any authoritative body make compromises for any one of us should we just choose not to show up in response to a subpoena?

[blogslut]

66. Oh Lamar

Why don't you mention Nixon or Ronnie or Dubya's daddy?

[Richard Steele]

68. Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton right out of the gate- what a shock!

[helderheid]

69. Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton. Not to mention Clinton, Clinton, Clinton.

[Richard Steele]

74. LOL! GMTA!

[helderheid]

86. LOL!! :)

:yourock:

[Hepburn]

91. Exactly....

....and assuming they are correct (which they are NOT) that Clinton did something wrong....how EXACTLY does that excuse the wrongs the azzhole has done?

GMAB!

[helderheid]

94. EXACTLY. I'll never understand their argument.

[A wise Man]

70. LaMar Smith

on the attack of Clinton, rather than justic and the suspension of caging.

[Subdivisions]

71. As usual, Clinton did it.

[in_cog_ni_to]

72. Lamar Smith up making excuses for the psycho. This will be a partisan vote..right down the middle.

Good thing the Dems are the MAJORITY!!!!:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[bdamomma]

73. 3 executive orders is that right???

oh, they have to bring up Clinton god, how many times are they going to play this over and over again.

oh, god here goes my blood pressure, what BS, get this guy off.

[woodsprite]

83. Maybe, but only because he does everything thru signing statements. n/t

[VP505]

75. Here we go again

another Clinton bash, that like that's what they are they there for. What a tool!!!

[MrMickeysMom]

79. Oh, so we should be satisfied with hearing from them NOT UNDER OATH?

[in_cog_ni_to]

96. OF COURSE! We couldn't possibly have a TRAIL OF THE LIES THEY WOULD TELL!

[flyarm]

80. HOW MANY TIMES DID NIXON USE EXEC PRIVLEDGE...??

HOW MANY TIMES DID REAGAN IN IRAN CONTRA??

we dems need to arm ourselves with that info!! at all times

[MiniMe]

82. WH offered to have Miers and Rove meet and answer their questions

Yeah, they did, with unacceptable terms. No transcript, can't call them back for anything, behind closed doors.

[bdamomma]

98. total BS

[mod mom]

84. the Pres claim of Exec Priviledge goes back to George Washington. UFB

[blogslut]

85. All the way back to Washington, Lamar?

When did Nixon change his name to George Washington?

[in_cog_ni_to]

87. PATHETIC piece of shit! Clinton. It's ALWAYS about Clinton!

I hate these freaks.

[Sparkly]

88. Clenis Clenis Clenis Clenis Clenis!!!!! nt

[A wise Man]

89. Right LAMAR

like your do nothing congress gave a shit on doing the right thing.

[MrMickeysMom]

90. What a bunch of shit from Texas. I hope his ass is voted out...

[rodeodance]

92. Smith is NO gentelman!!!----

[Drum]

93. My goodness, Lamar only omitted

the dangers of human/animal hybrids!

What a jackass! x(

[G_Leo_Criley]

95. Linda Sanchez!

" recommend that they be cited for contempt of congress."

That's right Linda!

:patriot:

[Wednesdays]

97. Linda Sanchez up now

None too soon, what a relief.

[flyarm]

99. i just called Lamar's office i asked how many times did Reagan and Nixon use exec privledge??

PLEASE CALL HIS OFFICE AND ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS..HOW MANY TIMES FOR NIXON AND HOW MANY TIMES FOR REAGAN DURING IRAN CONTRA!

[in_cog_ni_to]

106. Did they answer you? :) Let me guess....NO. Am I right?

[Solly Mack]

100. Lamar Smith is bereft of integrity

[MiniMe]

101. THREAD 2 UP

Link http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1430755

[bdamomma]

102. Code Pinkers are there.

[rodeodance]

103. Did all Repugs show up?--are the chairs full? anyone know?

[Hepburn]

104. Oh, puke.........Cannon the asshole from Utah....

...is bloviating like a stuck pig. :puke:

[L. Coyote]

105. "Administration will direct" DC USA to not prosecute .... HELLO that's impeachable.

I would think. With Sanchez, we are seeing how the Dems have done this correctly.

[blogslut]

107. Oh joy

Cannon is going to whine and rant for a while

[in_cog_ni_to]

109. YUK!!!! Cannon.....TOOL.

[Richard Steele]

110. Chris Cannon says there "isn't much evidence"- HENCE THE SUBPOENAS YOU GODDAMN ASSHOLE!!!!!!!

I'm not gonna make it to the end of this hearing.

[Hepburn]

111. So, Rep. Cannon, you dumb asshole....a question for you, OK?

If the Rethugs in the WH did NOTHING wrong ~~ as you claim ~~ then WHY are they hiding behind a false claim of privilege in order to NOT discuss what went on?

And...so far....we STILL do NOT have the FACTS on how those names of the fired US Attys got on the list. Care to explain WHY that info is being hidden?

Duh.....:eyes:
