Good on the people of Wyoming, Oklahoma, Kansas, Kentucky, Idaho, Mississippi, and Texas for choosing both of your Senators complete with brains and backbone.

Thanks also to the other opposition Senators, and to all of the good folks who fought against this nominee.

As to the "yes" votes, they will be remembered.

Now, if you listen carefully, you may hear a faint sound in the distance.

For those of you who don't recognize it, that's the Muster Drum.

One of the masterminds behind the second Waco cover-up is the new Attorney General.

He commands the FBI and the BATFE, as well as every single Assistant United States Attorney in the country.

He believes that everyday Americans should be prohibited from owning and using firerams of military utility and their accessories.

He and his subordinates will enforce and prosecute whatever anti-freedom measures the new Congress passes and the President signs.

Get ready.

Well, now we know what Judd Gregg paid for Sec. of Commerce.  :(

Just sent this e mail to Judd Gregg NH (R?)

Well, After reading the roll call vote on the Holder nomination I guess the People of NH know what you paid to be Sec. of Commerce.
If you want to pursue the Democratic platform why don't you join their party.

I am so disappointed in the GA Senators.   I would never have suspected them to have voted "yes".   They will both hear about this tonight.

Why have scruples when the guiding principle is: go along, to get along.

I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
