(Sorry folks, I'm off the local beat for the day. There seems to be some buzzing about George Bush's favorite Democrat senator that's music to my ears. This is a crosspost from ConnecticutBLOG).
I wouldn't put it pass him to accept the offer, we finally be rid of Lieberman forever.
That's what Marjorie Cohn is saying on The Thom Hartmann Show. The talk started a few hours ago, from what they're saying. (not that it didn't occur to any of us earlier, but it's going around now) Per Cohn:
• It would stop the Senate investigations dead in their tracks.
• It would guarantee a Senate confirmation.
• It would change the balance of power in the Senate, in favor of the Republicans.
• And it smells of Karl Rove.
Oh, if Karl Rove has anything to do with this, Lieberman jumping ship is very realistic.
Let me add to Cohn's list of reason's Lieberman would consider the offer
• It would be the ultimate revenge to the Democrats who didn't stick by him after the primary.
• Joe's STILL a VERY bitter person after what happened during last year's campaign and will probably never recover from the embarrassment of losing the primary.
• He probably wouldn't mind going out with Bush in 2008 and bringing an end to his political career.
• He's radioactive and once the Democrats have more of a majority of the senate in 2008, he's also be irrelevant.
Can someone verify this for me:
If Joementum gives up his seat, Rell could appoint a Republican in his place (what's the difference) BUT there would have to be a special election in 2008, which means we could finally have a true Democrat representing Connecticut (because there isn't a chance in hell any Republican could win a senate seat in this state).
I think it's time to place a call into the Sec of State's office...

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
