Too bad Dianne Feinstein's name is attached to it. That's a surefire way to make it known that your motion/measure/bill has no chance of passing. The lady is bats**t. P.S. I vote Democrat.
Ok, so no confidence votes are pretty much B.S. They hold no weight other than folks in government saying: "Hey, we don't like what your doing, but we're not going to do anything about it!" Funny, I totally wanted to believe if we got a Democratic majority into the government, it would mean action to hold officials in the Bush Administration responsible for their illegal, immoral, and unjust actions. Guess I fell for the Democratic rhetoric like the other voters. Sucks to be duped...but then why did I expect anything different?Contact your Senate and House representatives and let them know how much you disapprove. After all, they are supposed to represent your interests...uh...right?
This is just how the evil empire started in frikkin Star Wars. Next they're going to want to put a Senator Palpatino or some guy with a similar name in charge and itll all be over.
We are never told the names of the 8 fired attrorneys gen. or the states they came from. Gonzales is accused of cutting off the income to the Bank of Budapest, who used the salaries the communists he fired turned in to support the Hungarian Communist Party and a Hungarian nuclear plant in Eger. Accusing people of being members of the Communist Party hasn't been done lately, but it's still against the law to turn in your salary to one of the Communists' central banks.That ain't bad, but the FBI recently re-organized as a foreign intelligence agency, with 6 international divisions all run by the same person, who collects all 6 of the $110,000/yr. salaries. His job just started and he bought a fleet of new Mazaratis. Why didn't Gonzales do something about this?

Ha! Aren't they worried Gonzales' replacement will actually enforce current immigration law? /sarcasm

If it weren't "Breaking" would you then digg it up?

It's not entirely useless. Any member of the senate who votes against the measure is clearly detached from reality.
