I wholeheartedly concur. We need more men and women in Congress who are willing to do this. |

I think the US should pull out of the UN and ask it to leave our soil. The UN is anti-American and a waste of US taxpayer's money. |

No, we need a party that LEADS. I'd bet real money that neither of you would make the same statement if Dems were in charge. |

All mind reading aside, I would support anyone who is willing to work together rather than continue partisan in fighting. |

"A Republican's protest..." implies to me that it is 1 republican. Big deal. I would like to see more people vote on merits instead of along party lines. I still would like to see the US leave the UN and NATO. |

You might have missed this paragraph who: Among the 10 Republicans on the Senate committee, 3 joined Mr. Voinovich in expressing reservations about Mr. Bolton's nomination. In the face of strong Democratic opposition, the Republicans on the panel agreed only to send the nomination to the full Senate without an endorsement, an unusual move. |

Yeah, but does anybody actually think a Senator should actually listen to the testimony before deciding someone is unfit?
If it isn't required, we could save a lot of time by not having those Senate confirmation hearings.

I don't expect them to listen to it if they can read it.

If the senators who SIT on the committee don't attend - as was the case with Voinovich - what will there be to read? No one will be there to ask the nominees questions .. :lol: |

I think the testimony was quite clear. |

As someone who is actually one of Voinovich's constituents, I think I have the right to expect him to show up for work - especially when he claims that the issue is of such great importance. There's no way to say that that the testimony was "quite clear" - Voinovich never asked him A question. |

You don't have to ask questions to read testimony. And I agree, he should be present, but it doesn't mean he can't make a decision based on testimony alone. |
