Senate conservatives yesterday blocked legislation to raise the federal minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25, “insisting it include new tax breaks for restaurants and other businesses.”
The Congressional Budget Office reported yesterday that President Bush “can balance the budget within five years, or he can get Congress to extend his tax cuts beyond their scheduled expiration — but he can’t do both.”
In the Scooter Libby trial yesterday, former Associate CIA Deputy Director Robert Grenier testified that — pursuant to a request — he told Libby that Valerie Plame worked at the CIA in June 2003, a month before Libby claimed to have learned that information from NBC’s Tim Russert. Another CIA employee said he delivered a stark warning that the Bush administration’s leak “could lead to the deaths of people who aided American intelligence gathering abroad.”
“It’s water over the deck — get over it,” Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said yesterday about the 2000 Bush v. Gore ruling, “drawing laughs from his audience” at Iona College in New York.
Christine Todd Whitman, the former head of the Environmental Protection Agency under George W. Bush, said the president “missed the ‘perfect opening’ to call for a cap on greenhouse gas emissions in his State of the Union address Tuesday night.”
A Washington state school district’s controversial ban on the screening of Al Gore’s documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” was “lifted Tuesday night, subject to rigorous conditions. Still, the action has appalled the film’s producers and triggered a ferocious national backlash.”
“After the bloodiest year in Afghanistan since the U.S. invasion,” the Bush administration “will ask Congress for $7 billion to $8 billion in new funds for security, reconstruction and other projects in Afghanistan as part of the upcoming budget package.”
“Authorities at Tarleton State University said they plan to investigate a Martin Luther King Jr. Day party that mocked black stereotypes by featuring fried chicken, malt liquor and faux gang apparel.”
And finally: Senator, Dr. Frist will see you now. “The average age of members of the U.S. Senate is older than it has ever been,” and for “many senators, advanced age is starting to show.” Before his retirement from the Senate, former Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN), “a noted heart surgeon, was being consulted for informal medical advice by two dozen of his colleagues — more than 20 percent of the Senate.” “They went to Frist complaining about a host of illnesses and chronic maladies, most related to aging.”
What did we miss? Let us know in the comments section.
“It’s water over the deck — get over it,†Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said yesterday about the 2000 Bush v. Gore ruling,

January 25th, 2007 at 9:11 amThe much lauded 100 hours legislation is already beginning to get shot down in the senate. Now that the shock and awe 100 hours is over, its back to good old Washington get nothing done gridlock. Yippee. Hey, heres an idea Congress, IMPEACH BUSH and CHENEY. That should keep ‘em busy for awhile.
January 25th, 2007 at 9:12 amchristie todd whitmann should keep her mouth shut and quietly retreat to her welltodo enclave in new jersey. she was prominently positioned to advance environmental issues, but instead chose to be the ‘friendly’ public face while bushco eviscerated federal regulations. but her most unforgiveable act was to lie to the residents of new york city and those who worked at ground zero that the air quality was safe to breathe. and now many of those recovery workers are dying — slow, lingering, horrible deaths. she can rot in hell.

Now where are our wingnut friends who still allege Plame was a “desk-jockey”…
January 25th, 2007 at 9:17 amLooks like Grenier is the “songbird” we all knew would come out of the woodwork and indict the Bush Administration of liars and thugs on this treasonous act by them! It’s finale time for Bushco now!
January 25th, 2007 at 9:18 am#4 Is that who lied about the toxic cloud to the people of NY? I thought it was Rudy Guliani??? They probably were in cahoots about it. People all over the country, particularly those in health related professions, were dissing it immediately because everyone knew that that “dust and debris” HAD to be hazardous and toxic to the people nearest to it. And, then to seduce volunteers into destroying their health….along with the Fire & Rescue personnel….this is criminal on their part and the people of NY will never forgive Guliani for this. He can forget any political aspirations he may harbor for all of the lies he spun during 911.

January 25th, 2007 at 9:26 amThis is the second filibuster in as many weeks. The first was on Ethics Reform. So, it looks like we’re transitioning from a do-nothing Republican Majority to a pass-nothing Republican Minority.
What fries me is Corporate Media’s silence on Republican obstructionism, whilst the Democrats were cowed away from using the filibuster to prevent passage of domestic spying on citizens and the Military Commissions Act, etc., etc., etc.
January 25th, 2007 at 9:27 amActually, he can. We saw a foreshadowing how only a couple of month’s ago, with the reports that the Pentagon has been instructed to shift expenditures out of the budget an into the supplemental War authorizations.
By shifting more and more of the Pentagon’s finances off-budget, Bush can balance the budget while bankrupting the country. And the War Profiteers will laugh all the way to their Swiss Bank.
January 25th, 2007 at 9:29 amAnd those people were our network of intelligence on WMDs. Those men and women, whom we will never know their fate, were also blamed for the “faulty intelligence” leading up to Bush’s War in Iraq.
An even further reaching implication is this: after the leak of Plame exposed her entire covert operation, how many people do you think would still come forward and talk to Americans about sensitive information?
January 25th, 2007 at 9:39 amSo Senate Republicans want to kill the minimum wage increase by attaching a poison pill amendment for another tax cut. What the Democrats need to do in return is to invoke pay-go rules and at least make the Republicans come up with off-sets so this doesn’t just turn into another borrow-and-spend Republican proposal.
The Republicans showed for the last 6 years that they cannot lead. Now that that has turned them into the minority party they want to use Senate rules to prevent Democrats from leading. Apparently the lesson from the 2006 election was not learned so that lesson needs to be reinforced in 2008. That was the message from Sen. Jim Webb regarding Iraq but the waters edge does not end with Iraq.
January 25th, 2007 at 9:39 amI wish that the Supreme Court and the Republican Party would apply Scalia’s reasoning to Roe v. Wade… It’s decided, so get over it!

You ask why the Democratic majority can’t just handle this. While the Democrats can muster 50 votes (a simple majority) they cannot muster the 60 votes (a super majority) that is required to end the Republican fillabuster. In the House, where only a simple majority is needed, the legislation passed.
Lastly, the poison pill the Republicans have attached does not conform to the new pay-go rules. Under pay-go offsets are required so measures don’t simply add to the budget deficit. Since Democrats can’t come up with the 60 votes to report out a clean minimum wage bill they need to at least enforce pay-go rules. Any bill that is passed by the Senate will have to go to conference with the House since there are differences between the bills.

Just curious.
Also, Yes Scalia made a point, but made it in a stupid way. Bush Vs Gore. Bush won the electoral vote, which is what determines the presidency. The Supreme Court upheld the result. So, weather or not we like the result is not the issue. The system functioned the way it was intended to. Use that election as a benchmark for refining the system. Get over it by finding a better way. But what happened in 2000 is a result of living in a Representative Republic. We DO NOT live in a Democracy as some believe.

DEARBORN, Mich. – Ford Motor Co. lost $5.8 billion in the fourth quarter amid slumping sales and huge restructuring costs, pushing the automaker’s deficit for the year to $12.7 billion, the largest in its 103-year history.
I am almost positive I remember prezident bushco recently saying that the economy is strong and getting stronger. I wonder what the “pre-bush” deficit would have been for these large corps? Has bush’s tax policies “helped” them?
In any case, I’m sure the thousands who have been laid off appreciate the strength of our economy.
January 25th, 2007 at 10:37 amGosh, it just keeps getting better!

If your goal is to invade the oil-rich countries of the Middle East no matter what, you really don’t need intelligence, because you have such an overwhelming arsenal at your disposal, any WMDs possessed and used by the Middle Eastern countries merely reinforces your propaganda about why they had to be invaded.
Casualties, American or otherwise, are irrelevant to that way of thinking. The only thing that matters is total control of the World’s Oil Supply.

Did you also notice the foreclosures were up a whopping 42% in 2006 with the 4th quarter being the worst quarter for the year.
These 2 numbers are the primary reason I think most economists are too optimistic on the economy for 2007. These are powerful headwinds.

If you are here…
Have you read anything about bill H.R.1 entitled “Implementing the 9/11 Commission Recommendations Act of 2007″?
I’m going to be looking at it off and on today, when I have time. If you have, can you tell me if there is anything in the bill that gives any control of our security over to the U.N.? One of our reps, David Davis (R-TN), voted against the bill because of this very reason. He said that we should not have to ask the U.N. for permission to protect our own country.
Thanks for any input you can give. I’d like to respond to “my” rep, and possibly send in a Letter to the Editor.

January 25th, 2007 at 12:40 pmre: Scalia’s comments (“It’s water over the deck — get over it,â€), your linked article has a number of other disturbing comments from SCOTUS members involved in that thing.
“Deciding” appropriate actions to ballot problems/interpretations, whether chads or not, has never been a “federal constitutional issue”. Beyond that, initial SCOTUS entry into this foray was over GWB’s “rights”, not ballot issues.
(sheesh…) what an incredibly inaccurate statement. Florida recounts were mandatory under Florida law given less than .5% plurality. This was overriden by Katheryn Harris’ “in my judgement” call. Harris made this announcement, answered no questions and exited the building, under guard, through an inaccessable private exit.
Gore agreed to not contest Harris’ original election certification on the word of GWB campaign, which promised a resolution in the “contest faze” to follow. GWB then pulled all the stops to delay adjudaction in this faze, with a strategy to “run out the clock” w/out recounts. This strategy is detailed, proudly, in books authored by several GWB strategists in this endeavor.
And again, Kennedy’s statement (eg: “we didn’t ask for the case”) is ridiculous: SCOTUS got involved on issues unrelated to “chads”… rather GWB’s concern that his “rights” (equal protection)would be violated in a recount. There is a good discussion of this SCOTUS “flip flop” here.
I’d also point out, while this was going on GWB lawyers argued for a recount in New Mexico, saying :
Scalia further intones:
Which, of course, is not what did happen or what would’ve happened had recounts proceeded. Such language, implicitly assuming election boards are/were picking and choosing likeable chads… from a sitting SCOTUS member… deplorable.
The Florida court decided on very clear Florida law. I think (and thought at the time) O’Connor was getting her legal advice from FOX News.
And here is the greatest insult of all. After ordering a recount +/- 2 weeks before final deadline, SCOTUS took the decision under review. Knowing full well the deadline was approaching, SCOTUS took 3 days to send it back to Florida Supremes, asking them to “clarify” and “reconsider” their decision’s applicability to Florida law.
Now, aware of this impending deadline, one might think that the highest court in our land might mobilize some resources to review Florida law for themselves and issue an intelligent, thoughtful response on the issues at hand. Instead, they asked Florida to, essentially, restate their prior descision endorsing recounts.
Among SCOTUS’ multiple convenient fabrications, this one sticks in my craw…
The Florida Supreme’s decision is still posted on their website. I would highly recomend anyone interested in historical accuracy go read those FS’s decisions: it cites applicable Florida law, and is clear as day… unassailable.
Essentially, SCOTUS conspired, through delay and legal maneuvers, to assist GWB in “running out the clock”. It was constitutional deadlines, not ballot issues, which ended that thing.
Nope. The media consortium determined that, under partial recount scenarios, GWB won. This was the essence of headlines across the country when, 1 year after the fact, they released their results. What was not headlined: GORE won every instance where all ballots were recounted, regardless of the various chad interpretations applied. And this, knowing GORE lost some +20k butterfly ballots.
Or in other words, GWB won except when all ballots were considered.
That the “GWB won” meme persists… I’ve seen it stated as fact in main WSJ OpEDs many times in recent years, is bad enough. That a US presidential election’s results can be obfuscated by crafty legal maneuvers delaying an honest count further exasperates. The lasting notion of that affair and the shenanigans which determined it’s result are worse: eg…
* specific andidate, in this case GORE, is at fault for requesting partial rather than full recounts, neither of which SCOTUS ultimately allowed
* legal shenanigans can and did delay Florida State voting statutes & procedures
* And lastly, that a candidate is responsable for the integrity of an election process, rather than the process itself.
SCOTUS assisted and cooperated in a fraud. The methods of this fraud, sadly, were an accurate portend to the massive malfeasance that has proven to be the GWB whitehouse.
That those sitting SCOTUS members continue to make stuff up, AFAIC, is chilling. Very, very chilling.
