talkpoliticsSenate removes Louisiana judge
Finally, the Senate does one thing that's actually Constitutional.
But of course they still have problems doing even something simple like paying attention. I guess they had already made up their minds or planned to just vote along the same lines as everyone else.
The historic vote marks only the eighth time in history that a federal judge has been removed from office by the Senate.
Finally, the Senate does one thing that's actually Constitutional.
And though the senators sat in the chamber for the required quorum, they were not necessarily engaged. Senators tapped away on their BlackBerrys under their desks and sifted through manila folders stuffed with papers.

“But the fact that we set aside everything that we were doing and came together and sat as a Senate and listened to the arguments and deliberated extensively about this impeachment should be reassuring to every American," said Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, who led the Senate Impeachment Committee, after the verdict was rendered.
Seems like there is something to bitch about. Then again if the standard for "deliberation" in the Senate is "half of them actually showed up", I guess it explains a lot of the terrible laws that come out of Congress.
(What we really need are legal cell phone jammers. There's nothing more annoying then Senior Management calling you to a meeting to demo something, then doing it while they spend the entire thing on Blackberries not hearing a single word you say. Way to waste my time.)
