Olson will have to get by Leahy first. Olson will not get past Leahy without discussing the Arkansas Project or Bush V Gore. If he gets in at all, the douchebag will come in through the backdoor and the basement with a recess appointment. Countdown to the end of fascism, little boots' days are numbered. All he has left is sending more troops to die for a lost cause so that he doesn't have to face his own failure. # 13 would do well to remember that having been labeled an “obstructionist” got both Senators Leahy and Daschle attempted murder-”Anthrax attacks”, as well as the sock puppet media-who were considered “too biased” to consider that maybe the emperor had no clothes.

And the general counsel for the U.S. Senate Ethics Committee wrote me a letter and stated that I had not proven that U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy had taken campaign donations from my opposing attorneys (year 2000 litigation) and I had, and the donations were given in 2003, from anti-trust attorney Wayne Cross for Dewey Ballantine and Stuart Hirschfield for Dewey Ballantine (Ericson v. In re IDC) and Wayne Cross and Stuart Hirshfield gave the donations to Dewey Ballantine PAC which gave them to U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy. It was on the http://www.fec.gov website and the litigation is on public record and the U.S. Supreme Court website, so obviously I proved that he had accepted donations.

I don't see where in HOLY HELL U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy has any right to judge ANYONE on ethical behaviour. That's just my personal opinion. Taking money from my opposing attorneys, in my opinion, is equivalent to supporting domestic terrorism.

In my opinion this is domestic terrorism. I firmly believe that U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy did very, very wrong to accept campaign donations from attorneys who succeeded in convincing the courts that it is normal workers' comp. jurisdiction to assault and batter and blast non-union movie extras.
