I didn't know it until a couple minutes ago, but Senator Coburn is speaking now, likely to an empty chamber. At 1AM EST tomorrow - I think - a new procedural vote happens, and we'll see if the Democrats have their 60 votes.
(Excerpt) Read more at c-span.org ...
did anyone notice the black dude behind coburn shaking and
moving to cause a distraction?? dirty bastards
Anyone aware that Bernie Sanders has proposed this?
S. 2909:
A bill to provide State programs to encourage employee ownership and participation in business...
Sorry if this is off topic...but it’s all part of this socialist/communist takeover of the government.
Al Franken is presiding...what a vulgar joke.
IT wasn’t passed yet was it?? Somoene said it was...I thought they were going to vote on the 24th?
There a series of votes required to break the Republican filibuster. The next, I think, is 1AM EST tomorrow. Right now, I think Coburn and Corker are talking before a mostly empty chamber.
Is that a yes or a no?
Coburn came right out and said that his staff checked with the “judiciary” and people cannot be forced to purchase health insurance under the commerce clause.
Baucus: I don’t know if my collegues have read...
I don’t care if they read some article in some MSM source...
READ THE DAMN BILL
The Woman’izer Max Baucus, the Embarrasment to the Senate is now speaking. PUT The Senate at the bottom of list of dignified bodies of people.
From what I heard, the final Senate vote will be on Christmas Eve or Christmas at the latest. Unless a Democrat defects or the Republicans can think up another delaying tactic. Nothing is set in stone.
Thank you....yes that is what I heard too then. A friend of mine just emailed me to tell me it was passed...but I think she is thinking that they got 60 votes so it’s over...
thanks
Who is speaking now?
Sherrod Brown, Democrat of OH. The C-Span feed I linked to above superimposes the names of speakers.
The Dems keep using the same talking points - about thousands of people dieing because they don't have Insurance - bull!
Fawn, Sen. Grassley (R) just said that they’re meeting a 1 minute after 12 tonight and are forcing them to vote at 1 a.m. He said they want it passed before people have a chance to know what’s in it. Pray.
Sorry, that wasn’t Grassley, but it was one of ours. He was on about 5:25.
Did Joe L. get back from CT. yet?
Are all the Democratic Senators afraid to do the right thing for this country or are they all simply making deals for their own future?
It doesn’t go into effect until 2014 right? We have time to get in there and change it.
