Dems Force Senate Into Closed Session

From AmericaBlog:

The Democrats have forced the Senate into a closed session, to shut down the Senate and go behind closed doors for national security reasons, in order to discuss what the hell happened with Rove and ScooterGate.

Holy shit. CNN just said that by invoking Rule 21, Reid just shut down the Senate, all 100 Senators are called to the Senate floor, they have to turn over their cell phones, blackberries, etc.

From Daily KOS ( { NOT AN OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT } From a closed-captioning service)

THE LIBBY INDICTMENT PROVIDES A WINDOW INTO WHAT THIS IS REALLY ALL ABOUT, HOW THIS ADMINISTRATION MANUFACTURED AND MANIPULATED INTELLIGENCE IN ORDER TO SELL THE WAR IN IRAQ AND ATTEMPTED TO DESTROY THOSE WHO DARED TO CHALLENGE ITS ACTIONS. MR. PRESIDENT, THESE ARE NOT JUST WORDS FROM HARRY REID.

I DEMAND ON BEHALF OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT WE UNDERSTAND WHY THESE INVESTIGATIONS AREN'T BEING CONDUCTED, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 21, I NOW MOVE THAT SENATE GO INTO CLOSED SESSION.

Frist's response:

"They have no conviction, no principles, no ideas, but this is the ultimate. I have been slapped in the face!"

Poor, Baby. Hope it didn't hurt too hard...finally have this corrupt regime being called to account, I mean.

This is the ONLY way that the American people can ever hope to get any answers.
