It really is like a soap-opera.In a bit of political theater, Democrats have set a procedural vote as a prelude to considering a resolution expressing Senate dissatisfaction with the attorney general for a variety of actions, including the firing of federal prosecutors and the handling of national security matters.
I'm waiting for some congressman to show up with an eye-patch and a gun and exclaim that "I'm the father of that baby!"
But Republicans believe they will be able to deny Democrats the 60 votes necessary to overcome the procedural hurdle, though they are pointedly saying that position should not be read as an endorsement of the attorney general’s performance.

As Washington Turns
This space is designed for thoughtful commentary on politics and media (and whatever else comes to mind). The Pajama Pundit welcomes people from all political stripes to voice opinions freely and without fear of mean-spirited attacks. He does however expect intelligent discussion -- and some understanding of proper grammar usage.
For a more detailed look at commenting, please review our Comment Policy.
Please refrain from personal attacks on authors or other users. Back up your argument with documentation (links to elsewhere on the web). This is a big sandbox -- so please play nicely with one another.
NOTE: For all of the HTML nerds out there (like me), anchor, strong (bold), em (italic) and blockquote tags work within the comment form.
