House OKs Speedy Elections if Attacked

WASHINGTON (AP)- Fearing that terrorists might target Congress, the House on Thursday approved a bill to set up speedy special elections if 100 or more of its members are killed.

The House, in a 306-97 vote, put aside for now the larger issue of whether the Constitution should be amended to allow for temporary appointments in the event that an attack caused mass fatalities among lawmakers.

The House, said Judiciary Committee (news - web sites) Chairman James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., sponsor of the elections bill and a foe of appointments, "is rooted in democratic principles and those principles must be preserved at all costs."

1. I wonder if "they" already have the list of 100 drawn up...

:tinfoilhat:


:P

[KansDem]

6. We'll see if they try to cram 100 Congressional representatives...

...onto a small plane.

[Working Class Hero]

7. No kidding

The "list" would, no doubt, be made up of names that end with (D).

:tinfoilhat:

11. Ridge is on already preparing the scenario

All this "terror" coming up. "Condy" already mentioned she expects it too.

[blm]

2. The Handmaid's Tale.

.

[Political_Junkie]

took the words right out of my mouth...

[tom_paine]

3. Jesus Christ, "Handmaidens Tale" here we come

Even if the Busheviks aren't planning to LIHOP or MIHOP Congress to death, this is still an ominous occurrance and a victory for Tyranny.

10. Attn: female DUers... a lot of those computers banks use to keep track

of your $$ are made by Diebold...

Might consider an oil cloth sack buried in the back yard here shortly.

[Snow]

4. Notice how support & opposition to this bill split -

this is republican-sponsered; there's alreasdy a law in place to address the potential problem that's constitutionally based, and yet the republicans feel the need to do this. Hmmmmmmm.

[Tempest]

5. This is a good thing

This is in response to Bush wanting to do away with Congress in the event of a terrorist attack against the U.S., and where members of Congress are killed.

Bush wants to turn America into a dictatorship in the event Congress can't meet and perform its duties.

[havocmom]

8. so, if the 11-2 doesn't go the way they like and Dems controll congress

there is mysterious accident after the Dems get sworn in and they do the election all over again?

Damn, I thought the push to get Auhnald in office in California was so they could have governors appoint replacements to congress in case of mass whatever.

[laruemtt]

9. was this before or after

they met with sleeza?

[Katarina]

12. Good Lord

If they can think and plan this kind of stuff so far ahead, one would think they could actually PREVENT the terra attack instead. I don't want to cave in on the fear factor they have going on, I am trying really hard to not be scared but I am so glad school has less than a month to go. I hate the thought of my kids in lockdown and not being able to get to them. I hate waking up every morning and wondering what next.

[Chovexani]

13. Remember they never caught the Anthrax guy

:tinfoilhat:

[Bluebear]

14. And today they reveal nuclear material "missing"...

from a reactor in Vermont. What ARE they "preparing" us for?

FBI Checking Crop-Dusting Planes, Pilots

April 22, 2004 03:08 PM EDT


WASHINGTON - The FBI has questioned more than 3,000 pilots and aircraft owners, most of them in the past year, amid persistent concerns that terrorists might use crop-dusting planes to mount a biological or chemical attack, newly released documents show.

The interviews have not produced any arrests, according to a senior law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity, but have resulted in terrorism investigations that are still under way.

The effort, outlined in documents submitted to the commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks, is more extensive than previously disclosed and underscores how seriously the threat is viewed by U.S. authorities.

The level of overall terrorist threats against the United States remains extremely high, Attorney General John Ashcroft told reporters Thursday. He echoed the assessments of other top Bush administration officials that the summer months present a number of opportunities for attacks, ranging from the Olympics in Greece to the presidential nominating conventions in Boston and New York.

"There is without a doubt in my mind a very serious level of activity in terrorism which concerns me greatly," Ashcroft said at the Justice Department.

recall the dust cropper fears raised after 911

reportedly, such plane went missing en route from South America ... it was big ... hot story ... and, went away as fast as it hit the airwaves

I need a gif of someone running around stark raving mad ...

[tom_paine]

15. They never caught him because he was one of THEM

Like the Plame Leaker.

Not to worry, though, Fieldmarschall A$$croft is on the case and will undoubtedly be applying the same tenacity that Himmler showed when investigating the Nazi Party.

:puke: :puke:

It's almost gone now. Old America. Welcome to the New Bushevik Soviet Union.

[loudsue]

16. Sure, repukes.....let's just pass more bills without letting the Dems see

what we're doing, huh?

I'm so sick of the republicans cramming through these things that affect the safety of our country and our Democracy (Patriot Act, Homeland Security, HAVA). What ever happened to reasoned "debate"?

This country has become a dictatorship -- and I feel the pressure of the boot on my neck.

It's time for a revolution.

:kick:

[Old and In the Way]

18. Who doubts the target of 93?

I'm convinced that 93's target was the Capitol. That would have given Bush the cover to declare martial law. Wonder how history would have changed if 93hadn't been delayed 20 minutes on the Tarmac?

[kentuck]

19. I will be a candidate if that happens.....any other volunteers?
