  Paul Strauss - US Shadow Senator DC: History of Shadow Senators   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Of the twelve Shadow Senators elected prior to their State's admission to the Union, all but one of them were eventually seated as full voting Senators.
On March 13, 1850, Senator Stephan A. Douglas of Illinois laid California’s petition for admission to the Union before the Senate, together with a copy of the California constitution, and the credentials of Senators-elect William M. Gwin and John C. Fremont, which the Senator ordered to lie on the table and be printed.
Alaska's Shadow Senators were admitted to the diplomatic gallery of the Senate as spectators on January 14, 1957, but were not accorded the privilege of the floor.

Senator Pimentel said that he could not do so, as there were a lot of political implications in making up the composition of a presidential Cabinet.
Especially if Senator Pimentel were not to run for the Presidency, we all know that all the various presidential tickets would nearly be of the same calibre, espousing the maintenance of the status quo.
But your suggestion of a shadow government is one form of expressing that spirit which wants to be free, to be empowered, to participate fully (and not only as a number or an accessory) in decision-making.

 September 2, 2002 - News - 'Shadow' seats draw contenders
Often confused with the U.S. delegate position, the shadow senator and shadow representative are not officially recognized by the Congress.
Just like their real counterparts in the Congress, members of the shadow delegation serve either a six-year term as shadow senator or a two-year term as shadow representative.
Although the District has two shadow senators, Florence Pendleton, the senior shadow senator, is not up for re-election until 2006.

 Senators Aim to Avert Filibuster Showdown (phillyBurbs.com)
WASHINGTON - In the shadow of the next Supreme Court vacancy and critical votes this week, a dozen senators are racing the clock to forge a deal on the future of the filibuster that would avert a showdown over President Bush's judicial nominees.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has given Democrats an ultimatum: Stand aside and allow an up-or-down vote on Bush's designees or prepare for an end to filibusters on judicial nominees - the so-called nuclear option.
Six senators from each party are needed to force a deal whereby future judicial nominees are not blocked and current filibuster procedures remain unchanged.

 The Campaign Legal Center: Senators McCain and Feingold Urge Party Committees Not to Undermine Campaign Finance Law   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Washington, DC -- U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Russ Feingold (D-WI) today sent a letter to the Republican and Democratic national party committees urging them not to employ "shadow committees" to undermine the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA).
Indeed, according to these reports, it appears that both national parties are planning to re-create the soft money system by establishing a host of shadow entities prior to November 6th, which will then act on their behalf to raise and spend soft money after the new law takes effect.
In particular, we are confident the courts will overturn the FEC regulations that some may be trying to use as legal cover for improper party involvement in the creation of shadow soft money entities prior to the effective date of the new law.

Labor Senators consider the approach taken in the Bill to be flawed and inappropriate because it will not achieve the stated objectives of the legislation.
Labor Senators note that there are a number of specific concerns with the drafting of certain provisions in the Bill which render the Bill’s impact uncertain or unjust.
Labor Senators do not believe that this Bill will overcome any of the problems associated with interactive gambling, so the extent of the relative problems for various modes of gambling (such as wagering and lotteries) is not relevant to our assessment of the Bill.

 Matthew Yglesias: Shadow Government   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Republican Senators and Representatives are capable of acting like individuals rather than the robotic slaves of Frist/Delay/Rove/Bush if and when they choose to, but so far they've given little indication that they have or will so choose, except for the purposes of offering the occassional juicy quote to a newspaperman.
Shadow Governments will probably tend to make unrealistic proposals or tend to not worry about how their proposals would be budgeted, but even so, they would be an improvement on the current system, since they would present a clear alternative.
In the Canadian system, it is taken quite seriously; the main responsibility of each shadow cabinet minister in the opposition parties is to become that party's expert on that government department, to research the governing cabinet minister's department in detail, and to lead questioning of that minister in the House.

As Mark Latham and John Howard made a rare joint appearance at the parade, Labor senators in Canberra were also falling into step with the Government, announcing their support for the US free trade deal, despite misgivings.
SENATOR PETER COOK, COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN: Despite our misgivings about the quality of the agreement, we, on balance, believe that it is not that bad that it should be rejected and therefore we're going to recommend to the Senate that the Australia-US free trade agreement, enabling legislation, be supported.
SENATOR BOB BROWN, GREENS: Labor has again decided, in the run to the election, at the timetabling of the Prime Minister, Mr Howard, to capitulate to his sell-out of Australian interests.

Washington, DC — U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Russ Feingold (D-WI) today sent a letter to the Republican and Democratic national party committees urging them not to employ "shadow committees" to undermine the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA).
We are concerned by recent published reports that a number of national party committees are engaged in the process of establishing shadow entities in order to evade the ban on national parties raising and spending soft money -- the centerpiece of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) that will take effect on November 6, 2002.
Despite this clear prohibition, recent reports indicate that national party committees are already establishing B or planning to establish B shadow entities to raise and spend soft money.

 MPR: Stanek's resignation may cast shadow on Yecke's confirmation
Many DFL senators say they're particularly concerned about Education Commissioner Cheri Pierson Yecke, whose confirmation vote by the Senate Education Committee is scheduled for April 27.
The Senate Transportation Committee recommended by a party-line vote that the full Senate not confirm Molnau, and the Education Committee could make a similar recommendation for Yecke.
Senate Majority Leader Dean Johnson says Senate Democrats haven't decided if and when they will bring up the Molnau and Yecke confirmations on the floor.

 The Mainstream Media and Their Shadow [Free Republic]
There are roughly a dozen Democratic senators in those Midwestern and Southern states that went heavily for Bush in last year's presidential election who will be hard pressed to vote against a tax cut proposal that is growing in popularity with the public.
The senators in Dubya's crosshairs include Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.), Tim Johnson (D-S.D.), John Breaux(D-La.), Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) Sen. Johnson and Sen. Landrieu are up for reelection next year.

The 100 members of the 108th Senate include at least 40 millionaires--taking the low end of official financial disclosures that exclude the value of senators' homes.[1] The 100 senators include 86 men, 59 law school graduates, no Hispanics and no fls, a composition that hardly mirrors the population.[2]
Apologists for our system of two senators per State say that the citizens of each State should have equal weight in one of the houses.
Of the 40 millionaires in the Senate, 18 (including the five richest) are Democrats.

But in the 1990s each senator raised serious questions of his own about affirmative action, stands that have prompted concern from minority leaders and civil liberties activists about just how strongly the two presidential contenders support a policy widely embraced by fls and Latinos, both large constituencies in the Democratic primaries.
On Wednesday, both senators said they support affirmative action and are opposed only to quotas, which reserve rigid numbers or percentages of benefits for minorities.
Harvard law professor Christopher Edley discussed Kerry's 1992 speech with the senator before it was made and attended the 2000 convention, where Lieberman explained his past statements on affirmative action.
