This all seems a bit silly - debate with a 30 hour time limit, pre-announced. This will accomplish nothing.
Have they passed all the appropriation bills yet - I think there are still a few outstanding & the new fiscal year has already started.
Even c-span junkies will probably snooze during this. I don't think they even have to stay on message - they could read bedtime stories for all we know.

I had an interesting thought. What if Frist immediately announces another 30 hour debate scheduled right at the end of the first one? If Reps have their ducks (quietly) set up and the Dems don't... heh, heh, heh.
