Why do you think it has been dropped in the Senate?

Because a number of "Republican" senators regularly lose cojone-comparing contests with hamsters.

The Senate won't call the Democrats on the judges issue [24/7/365 filibuster], and also dropped the impeachment of Clinton, if you recall.

After watching Kute Katie Kommie pee all over the capture of Saddam this morning, I know exactly why this is going nowhere - for the same reason that back in 1997, the leaked contents of the Newt cell-phone call got more press than McDermott's involvement in the wire-tap. The Democrats own the press.

They may own the press, the government, and have the market on propaganda cornered, it makes no difference in the long run, and that's what we are in it for, the long run.

Like termites we will bring them down, even if we have to do it one bite at a time until the whole structure crumbles. There is no excuse to remain silent, to give in, to say nothing can be done, or that we will produce an unwanted outcome. They cannot operate with impunity or without challenge any longer. Republican politicians need to know there is a growing noisy resistance to demonrat sop.
