Dems Send the Senate into Closed Session Over Plame Leak

CSPAN 2

[LisaFab]

Harry Reid just made a motion, that was seconded, to send the Senate into closeed session.Schumer, Rockefeller and Durbin are before the press asking for a Senate Intelligence investigation into the Plame affair

[epluribus_2]

Who won the last election and has majority of both houses? I forgot.

[rhombus]

No more being nice. This is just another Democrat "show-boat" investigation and should just be shut down.

[eyespysomething]

The one where no one was charged with the alledged crime?

[pabianice]

[JennysCool]

Which broom closet are they renting for the hearings?

[LisaFab]

Durbin says they will shut down the open session every day until they get their way.

The session can be opened by a simple majority vote, so this is more of the Dems holding their breath until they turn bluer.

Dems like closed doors...

BUMP

[goldstategop]

What? The law wasn't broken! The Special Counsel concluded Valerie Plame wasn't outed. Yet the Democrats, instead of accepting the truth, have decided to play politics with our national security. Its not like there are more important things to find to occupy their time.

This has already been investigated.

[hershey]

Dems won't be happy until this blows Bush and Cheney out of office with indictments and possible jail time. That's what they want, and in the meantime, they'll make as much noise and palaver about this as possible. With sound bites from Kerry and Fat Teddy for weeks and months to come, Hill chiming in as a 'concerned' senator from time to time. If this display doesn't make you sick, I don't know what would.

Durbin says they will shut down the open session every day until they get their way.

How can a 3 yr old get control of the senate?

Fine, let them. The majority of people, when they finally do hear about this, will see the dems, once again, acting like babies.

[Rebelbase]

"Senate Intelligence"

Shouldn't that be added to the oxymoron list? At least on the Dem side?

[Republican Wildcat]

Rush Limbaugh now talking about this.

[half-cajun]

Overreaching again. When will they learn?

[TheDon]

That's the problem for the Dems. Fitz didn't do what they wanted.

[Shermy]

It has to be closed and they know it.

If it was open the fundamental questions about why Washington was talking about Wilson and his wife will be exposed...or exposed again -how soon they forget. What Wilson said versus what he told the CIA. His dubious claims of debunking documents. Dems need mystery because they've so far successfully run a meme that Wilson was an unfair target.

Keep it open!

[goldstategop]

Yep. Ecactly. As a stunt it makes them look silly. But if they choose to be dimwits, by all means, be our guests!
