Clarify - does that say october of two-thousand FIVE?

Is his use of public funds/resources to help law enforcement track down folks who were derelict in their duty such a bad thing? The Democrats were AWOL.

If they were breaking the law, they should have been arrested (yes, I know they were in OK). Congressmen are not part of the executive branch or law enforcement system, and they certainly don't get to commandeer the ATC system.

There's more than enough blame to go around in the Texas gerrymandering affair. The real solution would be to empower a nonpartisan body to come up with redistricting rules and write them into the state constitution. But of course that will never happen.

Also, didn't he use federal resources by getting the Department of Homeland Security on the case? I for one am relieved that DHS is protecting us from the fundamentalist democrats who hate our freedom.

I'm glad we have a serious man in congress who truly understands this war on terror, and leverages our scarce resources with wisdom and care.

What else were the Dems supposed to do, Scott? Hang out around Austin, grab a beer at Hole in the Wall, watch as their state was carved into a ridiculous mockery of fair districts (all while very, very vital matters to the state were pushed to the back burner by the Republicans -- how's that for shirking your duties?), and shrug: "Hey, at least we're doing what is right and good and noble." Well, evil will always win, because good is dumb.

Blaming the Democrats for this farce is ridiculous, even if I do wish they had stuck around and screamed bloody murder for a system like Tom is advocating. That every state doesn't have a non-partisan committee to draw up logical, representational districts is a sham of democracy exceeded only by that of our disenfranchised friends in D.C. ... which also happens to be controlled by Congress!

Guys, I think J. Scott has a point. I for one am sick and tired of people thinking they can just up and challenge das State's authority whenever they feel like it. Tom Delay has many of the qualities you should all respect in a fine leader.

You know what they say: Once Goebbels shows up in a thread, all further discussion is moot.

Aw, that takes me back. Working in Lon's office was my first internship. (Goebbels I never worked for.)

I have diligently been trying to serve arresting officer for an ALR, DPS hearing. She has been on leave for over 3 months and Lt. (acting chief, since chief retired in scandal) refuses to take service of subpoena because I have not been furnished in DISCOVERY any other address. This was a colorful event that I think they do not want to get out.
Can anyone help with a statute? I have tried to pull the SOP's.
