Tuesday, February 27, 2007: Rail Security Act; Possibly Speeches on Iraq De-Authorization

Lots of quorum call this morning.  Now it looks like the Senate has gone to recess until 14:15 est.

Dick Durbin (IL) is giving reasons as to why the Democrats are seeking to revoke the 2002 Iraq War Authorization.  That Authorization gave Congress's OK to President Bush as his administration launched a war on Iraq.  But the circumstances have changed, Durbin says.

But, before considering the Iraq War De-Authorization, the Senate will consider a bill that seeks to implement more recommendations from the September 11th Commission.
