2. They have to subpoena the document first
I don't think they can just verbaly "ask" for it in the hearing and have contempt attach to a refusal.

I don't know if they CAN subpoena something without the consent of the majority.

6. Yes, I think he was SoCal, but it was a magnificent moment in time!
Edited on Sat Jun-12-04 06:46 AM by anarchy1999
Biden took it and he ran with it. Biden has been a disappointment for a long time. Maybe he finally got fed up with it when the Attorney General sat in front of the panel and shot them all the finger. Maybe he had a moment as in, "lightbulb".

Edited on Sat Jun-12-04 06:23 AM by tom_paine
Thank God! Did you see that effing GRIN of his? I thought his head was going to split like a Pac-Man and he was going to chew thru the desk, Ashcroft's desk, and then his spine!

That man was RIGHTEOUSLY PISSED!!!

About fucking time, I say!

righteous anger. And very controlled. That is why I believe we have a moment in time, right now, to make the difference. I still want to believe.

4. I did right after the hearing -
Joe Biden
201 RUSSELL SENATE OFFICE BUILDING WASHINGTON DC 20510
(202) 224-5042
E-mail: senator@biden.senate.gov

Snail Mail is better than e-mail and a phone call is powerful.

23. Call Biden, Kennedy, Leahy, Feinstein 800-839-5276
I thanked them for pressing the @(%_#$(!!, and encouraged them to go for Contempt charges.

Amy Goodman says we should also be pressing for a Special Prosecuter... sounds good to me.

One word about snail mail....... I agree that a written letter is more effective, especially to the media. However, thanks to the anthrax deal, the Washington offices will no longer open letters, as I understand it. So, if you can find their home town address, send it there. Otherwise, a phone call is effective.

I'm making the calls again on Monday, and adding Hatch. Just to exercise my gag reflex. :)

26. 1 (800) 839 - 5276 - TOLL FREE TO CAPITOL HILL.
No limits on how many times you can use this, either, evidently. I used it 20 times, one day. You can get to ANYBODY's office, House AND/OR Senate.

32. What being diligent means is to applaud the "good moves"
and chide the 'bad moves".

There are plenty of both in a lot of Dems.

38. This is a chance to be heard, I think?.........
for us to do more than make this be an issue. CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS!! The Reagan whatever is over............. Time to move on and get over it. There are far more pressing issues than the Death of Ronald Reagan for this country to get through!!!!!!!!!!1

JUST KEEP REPEATING TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW, "CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS". "OUTSIDE OF THE CONSTITUTION". WE THE PEOPLE>>>>>>>>>

The rest of the world are waiting for us, "we the people", of this United States, to act. I think they want to know if we really cherish our democracy and that we believe in the ideals our "leaders" rant on about, you know, "freedom and democracy". The rest of the world is waiting to see what "we the people" do........

Think about it............

55. One Fodder Unit Checking In
I was so thrilled to see someone on a Senate committee finally get righteously angry at this demonic frightfest of an Administration and its Enabler General, that I called my teenaged daughter in to watch the replay. She was impressed, too. (Hard to impress a 15 year old.)

I didn't realize Senator Biden has a son in Iraq?

I sent Senator Biden an encouraging email and I urge all of you to do the same.
