Apparently Sullivan refused to give Craig the in-kind bribe he requested.

I am continuing to compile a list of FreeRepublic folks who are interested in RKBA topics. FReepmail me if you want to be added.

Conversely, if you want off my ping-list, let me know.

And my apologies for any redundant pings.

I bet if the nominee would agree to meet Larry Craig in a men’s public restroom, he’d support him....

This one-person veto in the Senate happened to me in 1981. Some yahoo Senator put a hold on the entire promotion list for the Air Force for about 9 months because of one name he didn’t like. Meanwhile, several hundred of us cooled our heels one rank lower than we should have been. When the list was finally released, we got retroactive date of rank adjustments but NOT retroactive pay. Cost me about $3000.

I know. He should have changed that to something less embarrassing. Maybe drop the "O" or something.

Yep.
Lost six months of Captain’s pay back in 1994 because of our congress-critters.

Yep. He seems a decent enough guy, but you have to wonder how he managed to get ANYWHERE in politics with a name like that.

Sounds like SOME Senators are declaring independence from King George. Also sounds like they are justified. BATF should be aborted.

“His name is really Mike Crap-o?”

His best friend in congress is John Boehner.

The ATF stripped the license of Red's Trading Post, in Twin Falls, Idaho, in March after an audit found numerous record-keeping violations over a five-year period.

Article doesn't mention the almost weekly (definitely monthly) ATF raids and spot checks that occur over at Red's.

Also doesn't mention that a "record-keeping violation" includes things as minor as writing "ID" on an application instead of spelling out "Idaho" on the address line.
