Bobert: get your facts straight, my friend. Your Senator (thank God he is yours and not mine)was courting the Union vote in the coming election in his remarks this morning on the Senate Floor. I heard him. It had nothing to do with checks and balances.

The senate is arguing whether or not President Bush should be afforded the same rights every president has had since John F. Kennedy. Bush had them before 9-11. He no longer has them. That was the context in which your senator made his remarks.
