Rockefeller knows that the best defense is a good offense. The pubbies fall for it every time. Since when did the MINORITY get to have a vice-chair, and the right to split off and free-lance. Since the GOP rolled over.

If I recall correctly, that was always the case ONLY on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. All the other committees call it the "ranking member." This was supposed to separate the bipartisan nature of the intelligence oversight.

It all fell apart after Jeffords jumped parties and the Democrats demanded a change to the Intelligence committee.

Good Evening Chik...
On another issue, the U.S. Dept. of Justice is investigating Rockefeller, Wedyn, and one other senator for leaking intelligence. Supposedly, their toast.
