confirmed in the Senate. Lets bring in a special prosecutor from a lets say four places, place the names in a hat and have it drawn by the court judge---------------then lets see him sweat. Lets not forget that some one that was being rushed to the hospital because they were having a heart attack died, because they couldn't get to the hospital , for the simple fact of the grid lock being caused in the town of Fort Lee and all of commuters trying to find an alternate routes.
