All I meant was that the page source didn’t have the bill’s text in a nice neat easy to copy format. (most fancy pages are like that)
They do have a handy extract feature, but I didn’t see a way to grab the whole thing.

I suspect that Inhofe, and Sessions may not have had the time to read the whole bill, and are being “useful idiots” in this case.

When I looked at Govtrak yesterday the entire bill was not there. Just the summary.
We had several discussions about it yesterday and I went over to Thomas and excerpted the source of the HTML. That way insuring accuracy and speed.
I was able to copy the data from Govtrack on the votes on the bills and paste it directly into Gnumeric a spreadsheet. When I did that on a Windows machine which had .net support it also copied their links intact for the congressmen’s names. On my old Linux box, the links do not work when I recreate it. It is a version issue, that I intend to upgrade soon.
Lost my job about 2 months ago and the company PC with it. 105 year old company is closing and I have bid on my old PC but not yet been told if I got it. This was the 2nd time I had worked for the company (total of 20 years- 14+ years first time plus 5-1/2 years 2nd time). Started with them in January 1972, like loosing an old friend. (also worked for similar company 15 years between stints.)

Sorry about the job :(
I live in Linux, so I don’t have all the html copy/paste stuff. (but, whoa, my browser and its composer/editor does. didn’t know that)
Hehe, I learn something new every day it seems!

Thanks, it will be OK.
I have been a Linux user for over 10 years. 1st distribution was an UMSDOS version of Slackware. Have a newer linux box that I pulled the hard drive out of for a friend who lost his job several months ago. Am shopping for a replacement drive, will rebuild it and expect to be back up to speed.
Still hope to purchase my old company PC. It had a copy of Quark 6.5 that I used daily with Xdata plugin. Might find a use for it. But still waiting to see if they sell it to me for what I offered. The apps were registered to me and to the company so I am interested. I used that PC to create a 3,000 page distributor catalog and all the Promotions (some were 1,000 pages long). Also maintained the web images for the distributor from that PC. Pulled the data from an AS400 and created the print stuff in Quark.
At 62 still hold my own technically with the “Wonder Kinder”.

I cut my teeth on Slackware 8.0, 10 years ago.
Now running Slackware 11.0 (left hand computer) and Kubuntu 8.04 (right hand computer), 8 desktops each, 3-10 windows per desktop.
And still catching up on stuff from last night, lol.

But no, I'd not heard the name until you mentioned it now.

No, I meant Conan the Barbarian, as in the old ‘80s Swarzenegger movie.

We don't need this bill. Presidents already have this power.
Remember Yaser Handi and Jose Padilla? They were US citizens.

Never seen the movie, but I did read a review.
Nope, not him, but he seems like a likable enough chap.

See the tail end of post #4
Basically, it references the Geneva Convention and ‘the laws of war’. (whatever those are)

1) IN GENERAL- The operations and activities of high-value detainee interrogation groups under this section shall be governed by such regulations and guidance as the President shall establish for purposes of implementing this section. The regulations shall specify the officer or officers of the Executive Branch responsible for determining whether an individual placed in military custody under section 2 meets the criteria for treatment as a high-value detainee for purposes of interrogation and determination of status by a high-value interrogation group under this section.Way too much power for this president.
