here, here's your stinkin paper

before the weeklong memorial day recess (gotta love that congressional schedule), the senate democrats successfully delayed the vote on UN ambassador nominee john bolton.

this delay (it's been almost 3 months since his nomination) revolves around some classified documents that Sen Biden and Dodd want to see. apparently, the documents include names of americans and companies. the White House has thus far denied the request, partially because the top 2 senators on the Intelligence Committee have already seen them.

i propose the white house allow access to the papers only if Biden and Dodd agree to resign if any of the information is leaked/revealed to the public. no one who currently has access to these documents has leaked the information (or the extra step request would not be necessary). if this classified information was leaked at this point, it would be a direct result of this demand by the democrats.

btw, high anxiety was a great movie.
