Anybody catching Obey on C-Span 2 right now?
He is laying out a laundry list of things that have happened in the House ... keeping votes open .. much more Announcing a package of 14 bills to snip the corruption in the bud. good stuff!

So much info here, I just know I won't remember it all by myself. He is getting all righteous on my screen on a Tuesday. It's been a great year so far, hasn't it?

Barney is talking about vote switching and holding votes open until they get just enough votes to do what they not. Changing votes to muddy their records for the voters.

7. Thanks for the heads-up, by the way, Sydnie.
Just saw there are other Congresspeople there. This could be very good.

8. this is pretty far reaching stuff!
We will need the transcript of this from C-Span just to understand how deep this is. think they can get this past now, or will it have to wait until we get control again?

Barney is kicking ass isn't he? Kept the vote open longer than the vote on the day they evacuated. Amazing. He's right. they should just have drills when they want to cheat and twist arms.
