[conservativefromGa]

Senate debate on the gun manufactures liability bill will begin at 9:30 this morning on C-Span2. Expect Feinstein to attach her Assault Weapons Ban renewal rider on it. Also McCain may attach a rider closing the so called "gun show loophole". This is it folks.

quorum - The number of Senators that must be present for the Senate to do business. The Constitution requires a majority of Senators (51) for a quorum. Often, fewer Senators are actually present on the floor, but the Senate presumes that a quorum is present unless the contrary is shown by a roll call vote or quorum call.

His office told me yesterday that he hadn't taken a position yet. I suspect they lied.

Has everyone here called their senator?

I called Sen. Stabenow's office (D) this morning and politely told her staff member what I expected her to do in regards to the bill and the possible ammendments.

I also e-mailed her twice.

She voted "yes".

So don't blow off your Democrat senator, if you have one. Contact them and politely let their staff know how you feel about this.

I called Stabenow's office too.

Wohoooo!!!! ... you are AWESOME !!

CSPAN: Mikey DeWine was the ONLY Republican to vote to keep the fillibuster.

I just called Nelson's (D-FL) office.

[Dead Corpse]

Thanks to you guys keeping us informed on what is going on....

[Dan from Michigan]

SHUT THE HELL UP TED! You killed more with your car than I have with my guns, so f**k you.

Damn, you're yelling. Don't bust a vein or artery......

[OXENinFLA]

[Dan from Michigan]

I think he's been drinking the Jameson again.....

Rats will not want to touch this. They would rather hide their true belief until after it is over

The evidence says otherwise since they are obviously bringing it up. Besides it isn't the Democrats who have said that they will sign it into law it's 'Pubie Bush.

[OXENinFLA]

DID KENNEDY JUST LIE??????

[Dead Corpse]

I did. The proxy at work is really starting to chap my ass. I can get some audio streams, but not others. Depends on how the media server wants to pipe the stream. If it forces it through anything other than port 74 on my end, it tanks.

[RockChucker]

Kennedy is on now.

"Special Interest Legislation" is his new sound bite.

He's yelling now. At least now, he's not reading directly from his notes.

"it's a civl rights issue, it's a womans issue, it's a childrens issue..."

"the nations business is increasing the mininum wage"

"no, no, no, were going to have special interest legislation..."

"basic mismanagement of the economy... people can't put food on the table... they are hard working Americans."

"Cadwell Admendment will extend the unemployment compensation...."

"Let us at least provide some temporary help...."

"Special Interest Legislation...."

"Special Interest Legislation...."

[OXENinFLA]

Unempolyment was NOT extended under Clinton!

[Dan from Michigan]

I walked out of the room.

[RockChucker]

Is this a fillibuster? Is this what they do when they want to attach ammendments?
