And ordered to get a warrant to look into james rosen s e-mails he needed those to examine. and another point, i really do think senator mansion s call for him to step down is significant. that can provide cover to other democratic senators if this crisis continues to allow him to call for his resignation as well. what about the po nie t the point ron is making? i know he is not an influential operative, but what if others come out and start turning? i don t think senator mansion speaks for the democratic party. he never has. this guy is up for re-election in 2012. it is a good issue for him to go after eric holder. let me get to another point. let me just say one thing about ron s point, the reality is is that i don t see how the ....
