When this insanity to grant telecom immunity and most effectively shield Little Georgie and the Big Dick from their own culpability is over, I will nominate you for sainthood, and the Constitutional Hall of Fame. Your work has energized me. I have managed to convince a few of my friends. And I’d like to think that my continued letter writing to Senators Cardin and Mikulski as well as to Rep Van Hollen will have done something to help.

Obviously I have to do much more with Miss Barbara.

You’re my hero in defending the Constitution.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Both sides must have a viable bill on which to conference and, at the moment as I understand where we are procedurally, the only side with a pending bill is the House. The Senate has no bill actively pending to send to conference. And without one, there can be no conference — which means there will have to be at least another vote in the Senate in order to achieve something conference-able if that is the case.</p> Except that the Senate screwed up and pulled their bill back — so they have to take some affirmative action to pull it back out of mothballs, as I understand the procedural conundrum at this point.
