I don't see it or hear it. BTW, they can vote to expel Jim Trafficant but his constituents will just vote him right back into office.

One of the cable channels mentioned that the vote would take place at 6 PM EST. It is not clear if the "debate" starts before that or if they really meant that the "debate" on the vote starts at 6.

Right now, the House is taking up the Partial Birth Abortion bill.

So what's your prediction on the vote?

433-2?

Or will it be a bigger margin than that?

"...they can vote to expel Jim Trafficant but his constituents will just vote him right back into office."

He was redistricted. He wouldn't win in his "new" district --- not enough concentration of brain dead genetic Rats.

I heard that they were going to give him 30 minutes but he wanted eight hours. It could be the most entertaining 30 minutes of the year. If he goes whole hog knowing that his fellow hypocrites are going to expel him it could be wild.

We might lose a congressman but we might gain a talk show host. If you watched Trafficant on Connie Chung last night you would know what I mean. He basically took over her show and actually made it INTERESTING for a change.
