No feigned indignation. TT may have threatened and wrote of it but didn't. There was much peer pressure to never do so. "We don't do that at DALPA" AG did. They didn't have the required 2/3 so they pulled the roll call. Don't hide behind the senatorial majority BS - the PM governs. An allowed procedure, but don't even attempt to play the moral high ground. AG pulled the handle on the Guillotine after the Kangeroo Court recall and execution of KR.

Also big difference with TT's nomination which was a gesture for someone that had no chance of winning. JVS was the front runner and heir apparent with the majority of votes until it looked like AA might get the additional vote and then he was chucked unceremoniously under the bus with ZERO votes.

The good thing is it is not a N/S thing - the entrenched bureaucracy will eat thier own who don't tow the party dogma as fast as anyone else.

Fly4hire is a former rep and a damn good guy. Even though I disagree with his staunch ALPA support.

I just realized you are nothing more than a bully who attempts to patronize and shout down all who disagree with you. You are an outlier in what I consider to be a group of great folks.

Coming from you, well, nevermind....

Oh, and "bully" is becoming as played out as "cheerleader", "playing checkers while the company plays chess", "apologist", "terrorist", and "hero" are becoming. But for a group of folks that you consider great, you certainly have a lot of condescension for them...

Merry Christmas.

I have NEVER used the term "terrorist." Four of my mil buds were murdered by terrorists. Merry Christmas.
