Stevens threatens to keep Senate in session til New Year, if necessary!

[flpoljunkie]

Will enough Senators stand up and stop this end run around the rules which will allow drilling in virtually one of the last pristine places left on this earth?

That is the question.

1. Bring it on you stupid evil bastard nm

[Loonman]

En masse, ASAP instead of being the wimps we all know.

senators?

12. Let him

So what?

It's the least the Senate Dems could do to prevent the rape of ANWR.

[flpoljunkie]

13. Senators have expressed hope that Stevens won't block defense bill passage

That is, hold the Senate hostage until he gets what he wants--drilling in ANWR at all costs!

"Senator Stevens does not support the troops!" That is what Republicans would be saying if a Democrat employed such a despicable maneuver.

AP reports that "Senate leaders were expected to withraw the legislation so it could be reworked without the refuge language.""

Let us hope that is indeed the case.
