3. This is an unscheduled news conference, is it not?

Something could be up... :popcorn:

[napi21]

10. I think they're just going to announce they're calling for a special council.

They are going to or already did request a SC from the Solicitor General Ted Olsen. I wonder if Shrub will tell Olsen to disregard their request? AND I wonder if he'll oblige?

I know Schumer and DiFi are two of them - missed the other two names.

[Bassic]

14. Very interesting.

But considering the Plame thing, I doub it will amount to much.

[trof]

12. Thanks for the heads up. Did I miss it?

[Blackhatjack]

15. Specter has made his choice and he will not support Gonzo any further....

I doubt there is anything Bush could say or do to change Specter's mind about Gonzo.

[Bassic]

17. Karl Rove can always try to balckmail him

with some cooked up bullshit, he's rather good at that.

[frogcycle]

44. i hope the video of the whole thing gets posted somewhere

[IChing]

36. Paul D. Clement - Solicitor General:

Paul D. Clement is the 43rd Solicitor General of the United States. He was nominated by President George W. Bush on March 14, 2005, confirmed by the United States Senate on June 8, 2005, and took the oath of office on June 13, 2005.

Mr. Clement is a native of Cedarburg, Wisconsin, and a graduate of the Cedarburg public schools. He received his bachelor’s degree summa cum laude from the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, and a master’s degree in economics from Cambridge University. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School where he was the Supreme Court editor of the Harvard Law Review.

Following graduation, Mr. Clement clerked for Judge Laurence H. Silberman of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and for Associate Justice Antonin Scalia of the U.S. Supreme Court. After his clerkships, he worked as an associate in the Washington, D.C., office of Kirkland & Ellis. Mr. Clement went on to serve as Chief Counsel of the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on the Constitution, Federalism and Property Rights. Afterwards, he was a partner in the Washington, D.C., office of King & Spalding, where he headed the firm’s appellate practice. Mr. Clement also served from 1998 to 2004 as an Adjunct Professor at the Georgetown University Law Center, where he taught a seminar on the separation of powers.

Mr. Clement joined the Department of Justice in February of 2001. Before his confirmation as Solicitor General, he served as Acting Solicitor General for nearly a year and as Principal Deputy Solicitor General. He has argued over 40 cases before the United States Supreme Court, including McConnell v. FEC, Tennessee v. Lane, Rumsfeld v. Padilla, United States v. Booker and Gonzales v. Raich. He also argued many of the key cases in the lower courts involving challenges to the President’s conduct of the war on terrorism.

34. holy crap

CNN cuts away, the talking head 'summarizes" what is going on dismissively


This may turn out to be the "shot across the bow" that brings down the house of cards (we can hope)

In another thread this morning people recapped how the three networks bumped soap operas to cover Watergate - but now "the most trusted name in news" can't even cover senior senators explanation for this move....

[Blackhatjack]

38. Shameful ... but educational as to where CNN stands...n/t

[Daphne08]

41. They bumped everything to cover Watergate. I can't believe

CNN did that.

Shameful.

[Blackhatjack]

37. Did you notice CNN cutting in late and cutting off Feinstein, and then the attempt to spin?

What an obvious attempt to influence public opinion of what just might be one of the most important events so far.

The attempt to spin the importance of the announcement by giving the WHite House position is typical of how they have handled matters of importance.

[PearliePoo2]

43. oh yeah

I noticed that too.
fucking bought and paid for enabling shills

[kenny blankenship]

45. CNN=Can't Notice News

[KAT119]

47. How True
