Maybe I have the 'boss thing' confused. According to this Salon article,"I decided that the best way to see if there are any real problems is to have a committee look into it," Rehnquist said Tuesday through a court spokesman.
Congressional Democrats and many newspaper editorials demanded that Scalia step aside when it was disclosed he took the trip in January with Cheney, on the vice president's plane, three weeks after the court agreed to hear the Bush administration's appeal of a ruling that ordered public disclosure of details of an energy task force chaired by Cheney.
There is a lot of force by the administration to keep the guest list at that meeting a secret. We all think that Enron, Exxon and Haliburton were represented, and won't be surprised if that turns out to be the case.
What is being kept from us?
What happens when you heat iodine? I was taught that iodine sublimates, that is it undergoes a physical transformation from solid to vapor form without becomming liquid inbetween. However, when I put some (pure crystalline) iodine into a beaker, then quickly heat the beaker with a bunsen burner, the substance sinters, then melts as well as sublimating the entire time.
So, unlike what you learned in chemistry class, iodine does indeed become liquid upon heating, that is, it melts:
Iodine exists in all three physical states at once.
