Dick Durbin (D-IL) (R) speak to reporters outside of the Senate Chamber at the U.S. Capitol November 1, 2005 in Washington, DC.

Senate Democrats stared down the barrel of the Republican gun… with an explosive closed door meeting… they put on their best game face, scowling at reporters, yes at last, they have stood up to the plate to challenge Scooter (Libby), the Boss (Cheney), W, and the Architect (Rove). Will they get what they want? Are they finally getting a grip? Only time will tell… its a tough game that only tough guys can play.
