Curious what you ladies and gents think of Mr TPM Cafe's reasoning here:
http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/blogs/rutabaga_ridgepole/2009/05/mignon-clyburn-will-kill-net-n.php?ref=reccafeI just called Barbara Boxer's office in LA, and the Senator hasn't taken a position on Clyburn's proposed appointment. Is she asleep, or just in bed with Cox like Feinstein?
Feinstein's office says Feinstein won't take a position until a couple days before the main confirmation hearing, doubtless for good procedural reasons that have nothing to do with hiding from the issues at hand.
