Of course it isn't Constitutional. Shelby's grandstanding for the folk back home and to puff up his war chest. You can't simply legislate away the Establishemnt Clause, not to mention that whole "separation of powers" thing that permeates the document.

Do you really think this photo is anti-American?

You miss a lot of shit. At work do people have trouble understanding you?

I had a better opinion of you before I read that post. My subconcious must have a set of blinders. I'm really just trying to see you in the most positive light.

You're trying to see me in the light? RT said she caught you in the dark trying to see her through her bedroom window. Why the diff?

Stepping down from the chair?

I was part of a conference call with Richard Morrison last night, and none of us were THAT optimistic.*

DeLay's power stems from his amazing ability to raise and control money for other Republicans. Until it's clear that he doesn't control the purse strings anymore, not that many Rs are going to make moves against him.

*ETA: There is a lot of hope, though. It was a good call.

Too hasty. He's survived this long . . . must not be perceived as enough of a liability to the party yet. I would say before the next election season gears up, though, so probably late this year, early next year.
And yet, new stuff keeps popping up virtually every day. I think this moves it up to the early fall at least.

So You Won a Pulitzer. Who Cares?

"There's no real science or even fairness behind the picking of winners and losers, with the prizes handed out according to a formula composed of one part log-rolling, two parts merit, three parts 'we owe him one,' and four parts random distribution. "

Oh please. I'm sure they were providing valuable services. (Seriously, I doubt that that will be the straw. Or even a major contributor. I think his daughter is legitimately an event planner, and it looks like nearly half that money went to her business, and not directly to her as payo . . . a payroll expense. If it went to the business, it probably paid for actual goods and services, etc. I may be being some combination of too cynical and not cynical enough, though.)

Seems to me that Hillary should step down under this logic as well.

I was waiting for the part in the article shifter linked to that explained his daughter was 11 years old, but had a killer collection of beanie babies. Oh well, not that easy.

BTW, shifter, I think Ty had that article in mind (i certainly did). He reads today's news yesterday, so he's primed for debate here.
