[TruthStream_dot_org]

recording video now...will post shrortly


yes, a REPUBLICAN is holding it up!

[meganmonkey]

1. Wow - waiting for more info....

:o

[tatertop]

3. Sensenbrenner doing the right thing? That would be a first.

It will be interesting to see what evil he is about.

[meganmonkey]

7. I know - I wonder if it is because he refuses to support the extension

over a permanent renewal...

[tatertop]

10. that's my guess - he is a greedy fat fetal pig

[texpatriot2004]

14. that's what I think...he wants it to be permanent (his way or the

highway move).

[babylonsister]

15. I wonder if the lack of Dem reps. there has anything to do with

anything. I notice Pelosi is conspiciously absent. :silly:

[dogfacedboy]

45. You have guessed correctly. n/t

[Zinfandel]

11. Shit, it's fucking obvious! He's going to try to force passage, or they

won't be able to get out of DC (and the ones that already left, will not be able to vote, or else they must scamper back from their Holiday break). I'm sure he thinks he can call the republicans who sided with the Dems, bluff...He's probably right!

They all want to get the fuck out of DC and spend their millions with their families, enjoying Christmas in their warm weather and island condo's!!!

[tatertop]

19. I was 'fraid of that

He is one fat piece of ****

[warrens]

13. He wants all or nothing

If he objects, the whole thing is dead and they have to start over.

[Zinfandel]

21. No, he won't settle for "nothing"...He has nine days to twist arms...

and it won't take that long cuz these bastards want to go on vacation!

And if it doesn't work, he can drop the whole thing at the last minute (or any time before the 31st) and come out with at least the same six month extention...and who knows maybe in six month's, they can plan another attack on the country, somewhere, and they can get it passed permanently like they want!

Fascist bastards!!!

[Pachamama]

42. He wants PERMANENT Passage of the Patriot Act, not temporary extensions

He's a fascist bully for the Bush Administration....

For those of you unfamiliar with Mr. Sensenbrenner, he's Mr. National ID card promoter....

[Pachamama]

2. Change the state Sensenbrenner is from! (WI - not WA)

Please don't insult the beautiful evergreen state with that fascist fat pig! :grr:

[ismnotwasm]

22. Yes, I was wondering who he was

Since that's wear I live. Time for google.....

[TruthStream_dot_org]

47. agreed - sorry

coulda swore i saw WA...my bad.

I was all excited to see a repluplican 'obstructionist'...lol...now I see his agenda...goddamnitall...f*ing commie pigs

[Daphne08]

4. What are the implications of this?

Does this mean it will expire? I'm a bit confused.

[tatertop]

5. I think he's up to something. Something EVIL.

[ChiciB1]

8. Well... He's NO Friend Of The Dems!

Wonder WHO put THE "bug" in HIS ear??? Three guess and the FIRST TWO don't count!

[Daphne08]

28. Yes, I've read some of the fascist legislation he's written!

That man is scary.

[hwmnbn]

6. Uh, oh!!!... first Andrea Mitchell debunks a RW......

talking point and now this! Is the rapture in the end times coming?

:scared: Something is up, I'm really scared. :scared:

[11cents]

9. The fascists *don't* want to extend the act.

They want to replace it with a Patriot Act II which will make the provisions *permanent.* In the Senate, the Democrats and several Republicans engineered the extension as a way of forestalling making the Act permanent.

[liberalnurse]

16. I have been checking all day with C-Span

for the House vote, which is in follow-up to the Senate Bill passing yesterday.....but they never showed up.....Now I know why.

Sensenbrenner has been working for months with the Democrats on a by-partisan "clean-up" of the Patriot Act. I don't see this as being an underhanded deal based on his prior work on the issue......I don't yet see his rationale for just one month extention...... :shrug:


Wait a minute.....Hold my horses........My brain was thinking Sununu.....this ashole is Sensenbrenner!!!!!!! Make note of my correction. :spank: :banghead: :blush:


Nevermind......We are in a big fat WAR!!!!!!!!!!

[AValdoux]

12. He wants it to expire...

...so they can blame the Democrats. More "My way or the highway" bullshit. They have the nerve to say Democrats are playing politics. They are evil bullies. Yesterday I heard Leahy say Democrats wanted to extend it for more debate not to let it expire. That the issues involved were too important to just push thru. They are only talking about three or four items.

17. cnn breaking: House passes one month extension

So now it has to go back to the Senate. Y'know I feel sorry for the staffers up on the Hill who have had their holiday plans knocked silly by their bosses.

onenote

[MadisonProgressive]

18. God - I hope the senate rejects this bullshit!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

20. Are they just trying to fill up the schedule so the hearings on

FISA abuse gets delayed? I hope Specter hold his ground and they get to the matter of domestic spying quickly.

[TruthStream_dot_org]

27. damn...

...gone for 5 minutes and it passed? wtf?!? lol

[Benhurst]

23. I don't. And I used to work there. NT

24. House passes a one-month extension of the Patriot Act

http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/12/22/patriot.act.ap/index.html

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House passed a one-month extension of the Patriot Act on Thursday and sent it to the Senate for final action as Congress scrambled to prevent expiration of anti-terror law enforcement provisions on December 31.

Approval came on a voice vote in a nearly empty chamber, after Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wisconsin, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, refused to agree to a six-month extension the Senate cleared several hours earlier.

House passage marked the latest step in a stalemate that first pitted Republicans against Democrats in the Senate, then turned into an intramural GOP dispute.

It was not clear when the Senate would act on the one-month bill, but approval was possible by evening.

Without action by Congress, several provisions enacted in the days following the 2001 terror attacks are due to expire. President Bush has repeatedly called on Congress not to let that happen.

26. btw..

sorry, he had a news conference coming up that I wanted to record, but I got a call from work and was unable to...if anything comes up repeating it, Ill try to catch it and post it

[Singular73]

29. House rejects a six-month extension to the Patriot Act passed

Breaking: www.cnn.com

"House rejects a six-month extension to the Patriot Act passed in the Senate and votes for a one-month extension."

[NV Whino]

30. Wow!

What now?

[amandabeech]

31. I think that some Congressfolk and Senators are going to be

spending more time in D.C. over the Holidays than they had planned.

But if it throws a monkey wrench in the * agenda, then it will be for a good cause!

[tatertop]

35. Please explain this to me

[HereSince1628]

32. Gotta go back and get the versions to a compromise

[tatertop]

36. I see

[Connie_Corleone]

33. So, does it go back to the Senate??

[jbonkowski]

34. Now the Senate has to come back

Anybody who left has to return to vote on the one month bill now.

Of course, Bush threatened last week to veto any extension that wasn't permanent. Unless he's going to flip-flop on that...

[MidwestTransplant]

38. Wouldn't they just iron it out in committee?

[54anickel]

39. Just heard Bush would take the 1 month extension. This is BS, what

sort of intelligent debate can take place in less than 1 month (after you figure in the holiday break). So it will be right back to square one with the "must pass, must become permanent" crap-o-la. Gives Bushco one month for a media spin blitz. :eyes:

[Broke In Jersey]

37. Was the house pissed at the Senate???

Some of the members of the House were on their way home & had to come back for this vote since the Senate did not pass the same bill as theirs. So maybe the house didn't want the senators to leave earlier then themselves either. Sounds like something I would do! haha Just speculating...

[Democrat 4 Ever]

40. Wonder how many holiday golf trips compliments of K Street will have to

be canceled? Oh, the tragedy, the suffering, the agony for the repugs. There will be hell to pay for this.

Just heard that the House will be back in session Monday, December 26 if the Senate fails to pass the one month extension on the Patriotic Act. Sounds like the repugs are taking joy in pissing in each other's nests.

[liberalnurse]

41. This is really a BATTLE!!!!!!!

The White House Team Hates Democrats.....that is what it all is about. Being a BULLY....and having the last word. This is punishment!


A *resident that actually hates at least half of the country. What a sad affair!

See you at 8PM C-Span 2 ........Senate comes into Session.

[ROakes1019]

46. Why?

This was the only angle I could figure out--Bush just doesn't want to agree to anything brokered by the Dems. I heard on TV that that famous un-named White House official said Bush would only agree to a one-month extension. Why did they fight so hard against a three-month extension until the Senate negotiated a six-month extension and now they want a one-month extension? The House is not going into legislative session until January 26 (so Delay can get his court case cleared up and take back over) so how can any debate on the Patriot Act take place before February 3? I can't see any motive behind all this bargaining except nastiness from Bush and the Repugs.

[bonito]

43. Is the senate going to ram it through tonight

Without enough Dem's to vote it down without any changes? I just don't trust this last minute stuff.

[VegasWolf]

44. Now I wonder if flippy-floppy Bush is going to say he's is delighted with

a one month extension. No telling what will come out of that sick clown's mouth!

[Rainscents]

48. Hey, Hey, don't insult Washington State!

He is NOT from Washington State! Washington want nothing to do with him!
