Well, at the beginning he said that Gonzales should never have been confirmed as AG in the first place. So far, however, he’s on a long detour through his new book on the Invisible Constitution. He’s setting something up, like maybe Gonzo’s stupid talk about Habeas Corpus not being explicitly affirmed in the Constitution.

Justice Department “Typo” Costs US $100 Million

WASHINGTON — It was a $100 million mistake, and a federal judge said Friday he doesn’t have the power to fix it.

The Justice Department goofed last year and cited the wrong law in a binding plea agreement with telecommunication entrepreneur Walter Anderson, the largest tax scofflaw in U.S. history. That mistake made it impossible for the government to recover between $100 million and $175 million, U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman said in March.

Prosecutors urged him to reconsider but Friedman reluctantly said Friday that his hands were tied.

“The court is not free to read something into a contract that is not there or to interpret uncertain language in the government’s favor,” Friedman said.

However, he also takes a long historical perspective. His take on the courts is that every time Bush’s unitary executive theory has been tested in the courts, Bush has lost. So I think he is confident that in time, things will be put right. IIRC, of course.

I had hope, Petrocelli, I had hope that Reid finally said enough was enough and called that low life, two timing, double faced, forked tongue rat bastoid’s bluff.

Harry was talking tough again yesterday … the low approval rating for Congress should make him give up his seat as Senate Majority leader.

Ain’t that the truth! One would think that if one’s approval rating (23%) is lower than Shrub’s (29%), it might behoove you to figure out what it is you’re doing wrong!!! Just a thought… 8-(

g’nite tex, pain free sleep wishes

Petrocelli @ 177

Valley Girl @ 169

But who to replace him? Whoever that person might be, they need to round up the troops and give Harry a good talking to.

I nominate Feingold, but it is my understanding that Harry remains leader throughout the sitting of 110th Congress.

That’s sad. Just like Lieberman will remain a part of the Dem caucus. (Thanks, Harry)

Talk is cheap, Harry. I want to see tough action.

What bugs me is, Harry seems to try harder to minimize Schumer, Whitehouse, et al than he does to repeat their powerful talking points and drive the Repugs to the edge of the cliff.

Night Betsy!

I wish Feingold was Majority Leader, there would be unrelenting pressure on the Repugs and they would crack like eggs.

our theme music for today

The Pentagon is removing questions about an servicemembers mental health from their regular evaluations of fitness.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/200…..GSOBrMWM0F

Now they make it sound as if this is being done to encourage the individuals to seek treatment…If this was the REAL REASON behind this I’d be pleased…but one does have to note that they are not doing anything about disciplining those that use a soldiers mental state to withhold them from advancement and assignments.

So perhaps they are simply using this to conceal the impact of the Iraq War on the mental state of those serving these insanely long and repeated tours there! Hide the numbers!

In addition, it will allow the continued assignment to Iraq of individuals who are suffering from PTSD and other mental illnesses. And the commender who does so will be shielded from responsibility if something goes “wrong” by the fact that he didn’t have any hint in his records.

Instead of non-reporting, there needs to be a system where there are no sanctions for seeking help…while at the same time allowing military people the ability to have treatment without putting them in positions that could harm themselves, others, and the national security. That would require some level of anonymity of reporting and “cover” for those that were pulled from their regimental duties that would not make them targets.

This policy simply doesn’t do that. It’s simply a way to jimmy the statistics about the wars psychological damage on the troops.

VG, I know the tech crew was prioritizing the fixes, with the bells and whistle stuff (like quote this comment and edit this comment) being fairly low on the priority list. They will eventually have it all fixed – I figure that is when WordPress will do another upgrade.

I did see and hear him pour cold water over the fiery remarks of Schumer and Whitehouse.
Even McCaskill’s brief but amazing speech was rent asunder by Vanilla Ice Harry …

Further Mac and FDL – Been unable to duplicate on PPC and Intel – number of browsers, OS’s, etc. Sorry Steve. Still working.

Suz- it is more complicated. I will give you details if it continues to happen. But, I tried to edit my comment, before any other comments were posted. And, then I got an error message (something like I needed to save my prev. comment) Once there are new comments after mine, that isn’t a problem.

Petrocelli @ 197

My bad again. Should have said WRT Harry…

I thought he was clearly trying to diminish Schumer by asking if Chuck was the senior Senator from New York … as if it’s not important enough for Reid to remember that.

In (partial) defense of Reid and Congresses ratings…
they are measured differently than Bush’s Approval Ratings.

Apparently they ask if one “Strongly Approves-Somewhat Approve- Somewhat Disapprove-Strongly Disapprove” of Bush’s job. Theyb then take the first two as a measure of his “Approval Level”

But for Congress and Reid They ask if you think they are doing a Great , Good, Fair or Poor job. And they take only the first two as the measure of Approval…leaving off those that say they are doing a Fair job.

When you do this you get about 30% higher measures of approval than those generally cited (e.g. 19%)

He didn’t disparage, but he makes Harry and Schumer look like they have nothing but politics to offer. He’s got the goods. His interview with Todd Graves gave him 35 or so minutes to flesh out an issue that Schumer would have wasted with drama.

Leahy deserves a lot of credit for coordinating the Dems. I think he made Whitehouse have that one- on- one with Graves to contrast the earlier battering they all gave to Alvin and it was very effective. Then Leahy showed up in the end and told his famous RFK story.
It was a poignant moment, which the MSM ignored, IIRC.

One teensy little problem, the 800lb gorilla in the room, PTSD is a reality! I had commented yesterday, a comrade who just got back, stabbed his estranged wife, who was 9 months into her pregnancy, killing the fetus, slashed his 13 yr old son across the jugular, as he attempted to save his mother, killing him! I’ve known him for awhile, and never would have suspected it!!! Only one explanation, his Iraq Service! I’m sorry to disturb anyone, but, facts are facts, period!!!

A recent injury? Due perhaps to the useless answers provided by Von Spakovsky causing intense head banging on the desk?

Oh, Foo. In the hearing on the 4 nominations to the FEC, Sen. Bob Bennett (R-UT) reciting the Repug talking points about voting fraud, and talking up the voter ID, carrying Karl Rove’s water. Spakovsky citing HAVA (Help America Vote Act) to the effect that “Gee, we had to clean up the voter rolls” (even if a few 100,000 voters were denied the vote in the process.)

Color for owned comments is gone on all my machines and browsers, too – it’s an artifact of the new WordPress I believe – I asked a couple of days ago.

The cursor – I only started using Firefox as my primary browser in the last 10 days – Safari acts as it has in the past for me.

Cocktail is a utility that’s free for the first 5 or 6 runs. Launch it, enter admin password, dismiss readme and click “Pilot”, then “Run”. It cleans Vmem, cache, reprebinds system, repairs permissions, etc. Reboot when it’s done (it may reboot a little slowly the first time) and retry.

This is an important question. First of all, every website that wants to be sensitive to people with disabilities should be “Bobby Approved“. No, that’s not my Mother talking. It refers to “a Web-based tool that analyzes Web pages for their accessibility to people with disabilities.”

If you see a web page that you cannot properly understand, look for the contact webmaster link that is usually found at the bottom of the page and let them know what you need. Even if you don’t get what you need, it will help put them on notice. Also, start googling for web hearing assistance services until you find something that works for you. Have you tried headphones with volume assistance?

Thank you for asking, and be persistent with your requests! I have been working in disability research for about 20 years, so, as they say, “I hear you!”

I forgot to note this part, for those who haven’t read the piece yet: Marcy!

I also found it heartening that other observers – such as Marcy Wheeler — found the efforts to bully Judge Walton as conspicuous as I did.

Cocktail?

There are other behaviors I’m noticing different, too. Previously, when quoting comments, the cursor was placed after the /blockquote tag.

Now, I have to click in the box to get a cursor.

And then there’s still the color thing on my own comments, doesn;t work on either browser, either machine (I’m on Pam’s iBook G4 now).

Color for owned comments is gone on all my machines and browsers, too – it’s an artifact of the new WordPress I believe – I asked a couple of days ago.

The cursor – I only started using Firefox as my primary browser in the last 10 days – Safari acts as it has in the past for me.

Cocktail is a utility that’s free for the first 5 or 6 runs. Launch it, enter admin password, dismiss readme and click “Pilot”, then “Run”. It cleans Vmem, cache, reprebinds system, repairs permissions, etc. Reboot when it’s done (it may reboot a little slowly the first time) and retry.

Thanks, makes sense, I’ll try it.

another test, pay no attention

Cool! It worked that time (the “Submit” button.)

Great. How did you fix it?

Good morning pups!

Looks like big changes over at MyDD.

I just restarted Firefox.

But I was having this trouble last night as well, and I restarted the computer in between, so I’m wondering if there is some interaction with the new WordPress…?

And the reason I have stopped using Safari as my default browser is that it doesn’t support the xhtml needed for blogging using Blogger. When I log in, many of the “buttons” are missing. It’s do-able, but a real PITA.

Good Morning!

Hear! Hear! on the Tribe speech, must see Teevee. He kicks Bush*ss!

The Griffin speech was an hour long whine about how all he ever wanted was to go back to Arkansas, lo these many years, but Bush Life just kept getting in his way. Really really, he just wanted to go home.
Poor Pitiful Tim.
And as for Caging? well, he had to look that up in the dictionary.

‘Morning, FirePups. What’s shakin’ this morning?

Missed that bit by Lawrence Tribe at the CSPAN link provided upthread; clip won’t let me restart it, either, have had to sit through that entire string of utter nonsense and bullsh*t by that little Rovian Mini-Me while fighting the urge to vomit. What an effing liar; he most certainly does know that “caging” isn’t just a term recently invented in regards to voter disenfranchisement, and he also knows that “caging” isn’t just a direct mail term.

Hell, direct mail in the Republican world is all about politics. Rove owned and operated a direct mail firm, having worked for one very early in his work history. They used the database for direct mailings for ID’ing voters then, and they still do it now. There is no separation between direct mail and how the Repugs contact voters; just ask direct mail king Richard Viguerie about it. I’d stake money on many direct mailers providing their databases as an unreported donation-in-kind to the Repugs, too; this is an area where Dems should be getting involved and doing a better job, both as a blue business and as a party function.

Agh. Now to reload that CSPAN clip again…

Nuts, now the link takes me to live CSPAN coverage.

Anybody got a static URL for that bit by Tribe?

Good morning Elliot, Rayne et al,

If you haven’t seen Sue Teller in Do Your Own Adventure back at Donita’s Spin, go back and see the videotape.

There’s a moment where she anticipates a new camera angle, well, you be the judge of funny.

I’d love to see the Tribe thing too.

Tribe joined Bruce Fein and Glenn Greenwald recently on a radio show to talk about the Comey/Ashcroft hospital visit. It was a great radio segment.

Here’s the link to that radio show if you want to hear it.

I haven’t listened to this, yet

Good morning, pups. It’s Timothy Egan and Bob Herbert in the NYT today. Mr. Egan writes about baking in Phoenix and Mr. Herbert says we should have more jobs for young people, but the reverse is happening.

Coffee and tea are waiting for you, and to celebrate the fact that it rained again last evening I made waffles. Enjoy!

Thank you Marion, waffles for my maple syrup, ymmm!

I can’t find Tribe’s speech for replay on CSPAN — yet.
It was the Harvard Law School Conference Speech by Lawrence Tribe

I just turned on washington journal & question is where do you get your political news. Great question. A caller mentioned FDL & follows the links to other sites. Excellent!

G’morning poochies. Waffels and tea sounds wonderful. Storm came through Austin a couple hours ago and expecting more rain around 3 this afternoon.

Mornin’ all!

Mornin’ twolf!

Bill Moyers Journal last night: The Libby Pardon

Elliot at 302, Thanks for bringing down the link to the radio show from Dover Bitch. I’m enjoying it.

just got it goin’ myself!

Radio show with Glenn amazing.

Any ice cream for the waffles? And coffee, please.

Merrily I say unto thee, there is a new thread.

Here’s a little Tribe, talking about the visit to Ashcroft’s bedside:

below the tip of this iceberg indicates there is probably purely domestic surveillance, clearly a violation, and,indeed, criminal vioation of federal law…
It looks like we have a White House involved in serious lawbreaking, criminal lawbreaking, abuse of power…
Ted Olson served the role as witness…
Alberto Gonzales, who clearly mislead Congress when he told them there was no dispute within the administration, played the role of a gangster in all of this. The person who is now heading the Department of Justice in the United States was willing to trash the law in order to do the President’s bidding. It’s a sad day
