Op. Cit: Bluetoe #32 (Ask an Israeli: Never Forget), and ProDem #40 (Schumer doesn’t care what we think; he’s out for A*P*C), and maunga in #75 (Chuckles and DiFi voted the A*P*C Whip) … RIGHT ON!

Charles Flippy Schumer is my alleged NY senator; and he’s listening to A*P*C Israelis more than meets the eyeball.

I told “my” senator Chuckles what a gem I think he is for supporting Duh-Oh Mukasey (Duh-oh, I dunno if waterboarding is torture, Seeeenyor Torquemada.)

I thanked sen. chuckles for reinforcing the meme: America as Torturers to the World.

I picked up one of the 1000 lousy outcomes of Senator Chuckie supporting low-ball Mukasey
as AG from Council for the National Interest, an A*P*C watch dog. My love note to Chuckie below. Chuckie needs an electile dysfunction. Ditto Corporate Ho DiFi.

Gosh, Thanks Senator Schumer.

Thanks for selling out all us normal Americans; thanks for selling out people tortured via waterboarding — in contrast to the vixen Mukasey, waterboarding is CLEARLY TORTURE — and other tortures used by this lawless and out-of-control administration.

Thanks, too, Chuck, for extending even more unitary (and fascist) executive privilege to Bush, Inc. — all for supporting an unworthy dissembler like Mike Mukasey to Atty Gen of the U.S. We all loooved your cut ‘n paste extract of other senators’ words (words prefacing why they would NEVER support Mukasey) to pretend they do support Poor Mikey.

Your ingenuous throwaway — well maybe Congress will pass a law on this definition/ban of waterboarding thing and maybe then Mukasey can open his mouth on it — is quite sad. We all know such legislation will be vetoed by The Sock Puppet in the WH. And even if he does not veto it, or if the veto is overridden, the dufus in chief will simply ignore it. After all, you are guaranteeing that Bush holds all power to do as he wishes. Please stop treating your constituents and US citizens as morons. We ain’t.

Here you go (below). You just helped traitors to the US walk away free; and you helped Condalizzard et. al. avoid yet another set of subpoenaes and another date with accountability. We just don’t know how to thank you enough, Senator Schumer. You’re a gem.

AIPAC Espionage Trial May Subpoena Rice, Hadley, Abrams, Wolfowitz, Feith
November 6, 2007
From CNI Staff

The United States judge presiding over the AIPAC espionage trial involving Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman, former senior staffers, has ruled that the prosecution may subpoena top U.S. officials, including Condoleezza Rice, Stephen Hadley, Richard Armitage, and top neocons Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, and Elliott Abrams. It is believed that their testimony, should they ever agree to testify, would negate the contention that the information collected by Rosen and Weissman and passed on to Israel would ever have endangered the interests of the United States.

As Grant Smith of the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy points out in a recent email to his members and on his website, the subpoenas heighten the probability that the case will be dismissed altogether since the Bush administration has set a pattern of refusing to let its officials testify at congressional hearings. As Judge T.S. Ellis has already said, “The government’s refusal to comply with a subpoena in these circumstances may result in dismissal or lesser sanctions.”

Smith also believes that ***if Michael Mukasey is confirmed and sworn in as Attorney General, his record suggests that he will move to have the case abandoned.***

***The ruling has thus been depicted as a defeat for the prosecution.*** See the article by Nathan Guttman in the Forward.

nxt election, Schumer is in for ’some shock and awe’ himself

What disgusts me is that I’m sure Schumer has convinced himself that he is acting bravely, rather than in fact, being a supine coward.

I called his office and told them that he could be running againt Typhoid Mary, but that I will never, ever, vote for him again.

Also, the cop’s complaint about this being an “unscheduled” protest is clasic.

He’s great!

I think Feinstein needs to be treated to lots of people with signs camped out on her front lawn.

now, it seems she wants immunity for the telcos…

OKK,

From the last thread on the dissing of the Hispanic legislators, regular old racist crap. It goes on all the time in Indian Country and the bordertowns.

A friend’s son who is Yakima/Hopi/Navajo tried out for the Coconino HS basketball team in Flagstaff. He and 2 others boys, Navajos, where told by the coach to meet at the rec room at 3 pm. They are there and no one else shows. They go to the gym and the team is practicing. The coach tells them they are late so they are off of the team. They tell him that he told them to go to the rec room. He yells at them he did’t. Friend’s kid loses his temper and yells at the coach, then he gets suspended from school. The school didn’t notify his mother or the dorm folks about this. He looked at old yearbooks showing the basketball teams, no native kids. Pure racist bull.

Matt- this is in AZ-01, right?

They kids need to get the Native students to protest, and contact all the Democratic Congressional candidates: Ann Kirkpatrick, Howard Shanker and Mary Kim Titla. Shanker is a lawyer who has represented tribal interests, and Titla is a Native American TV host (though a bit conservative) who who have a hard time backing away from a well grounded case of discrimination.

now, it seems she wants immunity for the telcos…

Thanks Selise. That is his final speech before the vote, but I don’t see it in there. He had a ton of doubt in his voice as he made this speech. Is it possible he mumbled it and it didn’t get recorded? I don’t know, but I swear he made reference to the fact that he didn’t think he was going to be confirmed and was acting disappointed.

Maybe it was my own wishful thinking on Mukasey? LOL Hey, I was laying in bed half asleep, so it could very well be! ;-)

I completely enjoyed Bernie Sander’s speech last night. It was angry, thoughtful, and right on the money about the King.

thanks for pointing out some of the highlights to me. i couldn’t listen last night – it was too depressing (not helped by the fact that earlier in the day i listened to the hjc hearing on torture with nance testifying on the details of waterboarding). now i’m going back and reading transcripts and listening to bits… safer that way (my laptop is less likely to meet the wall at a high velocity *g*).
