A point of parliamentary inquiry.....

[lastlib]

...for the less-knowledgeable (moi):

What is the "move to strike the last word" bit I keep hearing from everyone who asks to speak in the hearing?

I'm clueless (as usual). Can somebody explain to me pls? (I don't remember hearing that in Nixon's or Clinton's hearings--but that may only prove that I AM clueless......)

Would appreciate information from the vast trove of DU intelligence.

3. Thanks! didn't see that--

my internet service was down earlier today, so I tuned in kind of late here.



Sorry if I'm cluttering the board with this.

2. It's basically a fancy way

of saying "Mother, may i?"

It's a formal way of extending the discussion, asking for more time.
