Daschle up to his usual tricks. Why don't the people of SD catch onto this guy and throw him out?!

This is Anarchy!!! Or a Coup!!! Frist needs to BLAST the DEMS out of their Chairmanships. This has gotten NO publicity!!! We need to get the word out.

[Saundra Duffy]

Is Frist a Mormon?

This is the very reason the Demoncrats were really upset over Trent Lott, Daschle could pull his chain and he would react.
Also they, THE DEMONCRATS are still up to their old obstructionist ways and that is what cost them the Senate but they just cant help themselves.
It is a sad day but Daschle and the Demoncrats dont even want to allow their own party members to vote on the Judicial Nominations. Look at it for what it is, Daschle,Kennedy.Clintoon and the likes have a Dictatorship and they dont trust their own members to vote.Think about this and tell me the Demoncrats should not be labeled Communist!

The Daschle wants to nullify the November 5th elections results so he can again resume his role as illegitimate Majority Leader.

Notice Lieberman is peddling the opposite tack: because Lieberman is running, and Dasshole is not.

. . . Until an organizing resolution is passed, the committee setup remains as it was in the 107th Congress — with Democrats holding the committee gavels and new senators without committee assignments.

"What we had agreed to with a 51-49 breakdown in the 107th Congress is what we ought to agree to with a 51-49 breakdown in the 108th Congress," said Minority Leader Tom Daschle, South Dakota Democrat. "Let's do in this Congress what we did in the last one."

I take it an organizing resolution can't be passed because the RATs are threatening to filibuster it?

This would seem to be Frist's first opportunity to force the RATs to actually go through with a filibuster, speaking on the floor 24/7, with an opportunity to televise it all (and C-SPAN would be contractually obliged to cover it all.) And in the meantime all other Senate action would be blocked. Why not force the RATs to go through with it?

Did anybody notice who chaired the Senate Commerce Committee hearing this morning? Was it Hollings or McCain?

Tommy has trouble with math. It is actually 51-48-1. Jumpin' Jim Jeffords is not a RAT, although he votes with them.
