Thank you, OXENinFLA for putting together the below comments and links!

Since "Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.", I and others think it's a good idea to centralize what the goes on in the Senate (or House).
So if you see something happening on the Senate/House floor and you don't want to start a new thread to ask if anyone else just heard what you heard, you can leave a short note on who said what and about what and we will try and find it the next day in THE RECORD. Or if you see a thread that pertains to the Senate, House, or pretty much any GOV'T agency please link your thread here.
If you have any suggestions for this thread please feel free to let us know.
Here's a few helpful links.
C-SPAN what a great thing. Where you can watch or listen live to most Government happenings.
C-SPAN 1 carries the HOUSE.
C-SPAN 2 carries the SENATE.
C-SPAN 3 (most places web only) carries a variety of committee meetings live or other past programming.
OR FEDNET has online feed also.
A great thing about our Government is they make it really easy for the public to research what the Politicians are doing and saying (on the floor anyway).
THOMAS where you can see a RECORD of what Congress is doing each day. You can also search/read a verbatim text of what each Congressmen/women or Senator has said on the floor or submitted 'for the record.' [This is where the real juicy stuff can be found.]
Also found at Thomas are Monthly Calendars for the Senate ,
Senate Republicans and Senate Democrats
And Monthly Calendars for the House and Roll Call Votes can be found here.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT (aka The Dept. of Defense)
Ideologies and agendas tend to become their own reason for being...anything can be justified to push towards that end.
Rational people think certain things are good and wholesome, or desirable and work for them. Idealogues BELIEVE in their position, or desire their end so much that they don’t care about the rules any more, or who they hurt to stay doctrinally pure.
something about the WH telling the DOJ what to do and sharing documents
I’m not sure where Whitehouth is going with these questions

Here is an article about the bill that passed in the House today regarding DC getting voting rights.

I just got in streaming again...Whitehouse talking really fast..
What is that chart behind him??
I’m not sure
Chuckie is up now complaining AG said I don’t recall over 100 times
Then says that AG should step down
Orrin Hatch was just up on the Senate floor giving a very impassioned speech about the SCOTUS decision yesterday...and how good it was...but, angry that the dems keep still pushing for abortion at any time, for any reason.
If SENATORS were judged as harshly as they are judging all of Pres. Bush’s people, SHCMUCKIE....YOU guys would have been gone a LONG time ago!!
He is as oily, creepy, smarmy as they come...
You've got that right and he was out of line
I’m listening to Leaky with the headphones on ... $10 says he is a smoker
That is the way that I was thinking also.
But, the dems do this as a way to once again point the finger at the GOP as the bad guys...keeping the poor residents of Wash. DC from having ANY representation...
BLECH.
LOL..I listen with headphones myself.
I think you are right.
BTW..Senate is done for the day.
And a Hypocrite too
