6. no they walked out in a tiff because of the Contempt of Congress vote
for Bolton and Miers (which passed!)

the Lantos snub was a whole different POS puke move today when a puke from Florida called for a BS procedural vote during the memorial causing the Members to have to scramble out to vote

A repuke called for a vote during the memorial, and they had to leave to vote. They've been busy today, the assholes.

Have they no shame? You have to be a real lowlife to pull a stunt like that.

3. Now THAT is a gutsy suggestion
But of curse, the Dem leadership would never allow such a vote to be made...heck, they'd vote against it. Too much of their backsides tied up in the criminality, too.

15. I don't know.. the article for impeachment against Cheney was already
there.. Would have been nice if in that time they passed a few of the things we wanted... Like out of Iraq.... Impeachment... No Telecom Immunity... Universal Healthcare... Green Energy Initiatives... Real work could have been done in those few minutes that the People want.

18. Great idea!
But, don't they have to have a full 2/3's quorum before they can vote? I know we kicked ass in '06, but we don't have 2/3's of the House (yet)...
