Thursday is Lieberman’s 'day of reckoning'

[Poiuyt]

Thursday will be Senator Lieberman's "day of reckoning," according to a Capitol Hill paper.

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is scheduled to meet with Sen. Joe Lieberman (ID-Conn.) on Thursday to discuss his future in the Senate Democratic Conference, according to a Democratic Senate source," Tim Taylor reports for Roll Call.

Taylor notes that "a growing number of Senate Democrats have been pressuring Reid to penalize Lieberman for aggressively backing Republican Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) in this year’s presidential contest," and that his chairmanship of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and his place in the Democratic Conference are both "at stake."

1. I say make a deal...

Lieberman will be voting with the Dems on every issue from here on out, and he will also vote to overturn every single 'pub filibuster. Or else.

Now he is not required anymore.

9. I'd place him on probation because we still need his vote(s).

But the first time he fucks up, strip him of everything.
