Actually, its called the "House-Senate Conference Committe", and its been around for a very, very long time.
I didn't mention this because it was in the MSNBC article. Frankly, I'm not sure why you bring it up, so it seems like a non sequiter to me. What's your point?
In the future, please don't call me a liar when I give my opinions - especially when your suspicions regarding my opinions are dead wrong.
No, I implied that you might be a hypocrite, not a liar. I may be wrong in my suspicions, but I didn't say (or for that matter imply) you were a liar. If you are referring to my use of the word 'disingenuous', I was pointing out your attempt to trivialize an abuse of power which I feel should be taken seriously.
