You've gotta remember Republicans changed Senate rules to make sure the Voter-ID bill got out of the Senate in the first place. The slowdown seems like perfectly good use of the by the Dems to me.

More or less what Ann Richards said about Gorge Bush I.  Robert Frank discusses the link between success and luck.  Its one more thing the teabaggers have wrong.

Sounds good.

No way.

And the whole thing started in Shrub's mess of Justice Department; a department that held ideology over competency.

I think we finally have a team in Washington that knows right from wrong and a President that knows what torture is.

Stevens may well have been as crooked as they come, but the man should at least have a fair trial.  But in George 'it's only a piece of @#$@#% paper' Bush's Justice department, the standard was 'why let the Constituion stand in the way of a conviction, torture, or imprisonment without habeas corpus.

I wanna be on the tarmac when GWB or Chaney's first flight out of the country leaves the US.  I'll be chanting 'Hope you find some justice and never come back."

But to pay for the Pell Grant expansion, Obama would end federal support for private lending. And one of the major corporate providers of student loans is NelNet, a company based in Lincoln, Neb., the home state of  Sen. Ben Nelson, a moderate Democrat who balked at the stimulus package and teamed up with three moderate Republicans to cut $100 billion from the final bill. Cutting off support for NelNet would cost Nebraska about 1,000 jobs, according to Nelson's office. Nelson said the move could hurt middle-class students who do not qualify for Pell Grants. "I don't support anything that could reduce those benefits," Nelson said.

Nelson is also one of several Democrats who have objected to changes Obama has proposed in the farm subsidy system. By stopping direct payments to farms with annual sales of more than $500,000, the White House expects to save about $10 billion over 10 years. But along with Nelson, another Democratic opponent of Obama's annual-sales model is Senate Budget Committee Chairman  Kent Conrad (N.D.).

About midway down:
