What? Schatz & Hirono are silent? Rep. Hanabusa is correct. Schatz pulled his strings with Obama to by-pass the "public consultation" portion of the rule-making procedures, just to have a VICTORY DECLARATION at the IUCN Convention held at the Hawaii Convention Center this past summer. It was pure POLITICAL GRANDSTANDING!

This political grandstanding cause a major rift in the bond between the house of Ariyoshi & the house of Ige. It must be remembered that it was Governor Ariyoshi who gave Governor Ige his shot in government! Ariyoshi was Ige's mentor!

Alas, we see that political ambition has caused a strife at the very core of the Democratic Party. This leaves the Democrats open for the vultures to pick them apart. 

Rep. Hanabusa should have been Senator Hanabusa. Had that happened, we would have had a continuum of seniority in the Senate. Now all we got is a silent Schatz? How's that for leadership!

The Obama, Schatz & Ige club overstepped their bounds. Trump will correct that!
