As far as I am concerned, the harder Bush pushes to get his
way, the harder i will fight back. After all our Constitution
was designed to minimize the opportunity for one person to control it by
force, and efforts of one man to force his opinion on our Nation
get me riled up. The Senate has a legitimate right to require
thoughtful discussion of all issues. We need Harkin,
Jeffords, Ann Riichards, Daschle, etc to help overcome the
Bush Bull-Dozer

I had similar thoughts when Clinton
left and Bush came in and has redone some of the rules that were not
finalized. Why couldn't Clinton just get stuff done faster !?! I
think the Bush administration has not stopped at rolling back what was in
process of getting done
but is rolling back anything it possibly can.
I think Harkin did a good job in keeping him from being confirmed for as
long as he did. If he had not been for 9/11, the Farm Bill and corporate
scandals, Dorr would have been dealt with in the Senate Ag Committee
sooner. A Republican controlled Senate committee might
have gotten the nomination out sooner and with a recommendation to
confirm. Harkin made Bush do what Bush did and Harkin can say he worked
as best he could. Harkin can say he did it in a way that was not
"obstructionists" and also tried to do what is
liberal
constituents wanted.
I think we have Dorr for three years and not one.

Oh well, how much damage can he do in one year! (A lot-I know!)
