[history]
The South Carolina Republican, who rarely speaks during committee meetings, admonished Democrats for promising him a vote during this congressional session, which is coming to a close.
"I took you at your word," Mr. Thurmond said. "In 40 years, I have never been treated in such a manner. I am hurt and disappointed by your actions. I do not find your actions satisfactory."

The Democrat-controlled Senate grows more partisan by the day. I hope the voters will recognize this on election day.

Expresses outrage at yesterday's Judiciary Committee meeting. "I took Senator Leahy at his word..." Lists the judges qualifications.

Harry Reid now tries to run interference for Leahy by citing the usual suspects' 'concerns' about Judge Shedd. Trying to use minority groups' protests. Disgusting re-playing of the race card.
They don't get it...it's about Leahy LYING to Strom Thurmond. This will get ugly fast.

He was standing and actually reading quite well for a man of 99 years.

that is what is burning me up more than anything else. #1 the fact that Leahy TOLD him they would send it to the floor for a vote #2, the TRADITION that it is a courtesy accorded former chairmen of the committee and #3, the guy is 99 dang years old, at deaths door and RETIRING after unprecedented years of service, and they are SPITTING IN HIS FACE here!

I'm upset I only caught the tail end of Senator Thurmond's remarks. I did get to hear Senator Hatch. Reid was spouting irrelevancies. Leahy lied to Thurmond, that is clear.
To: rface
It doesn't look good for Dems when viewed live and unfiltered...but the press can rosey it up, as we know...
