Since "Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.", I and others think it's a good idea to centralize what the goes on in the Senate (or House).
So if you see something happening on the Senate/House floor and you don't want to start a new thread to ask if anyone else just heard what you heard, you can leave a short note on who said what and about what and I'll try and find it the next day in THE RECORD. Or if you see a thread that pertains to the Senate, House, or pretty much any GOV'T agency please link your thread here.
If you have any suggestions for this thread please feel free to let me know.
Here's a few helpful links.
C-SPAN what a great thing. Where you can watch or listen live to most Government happenings.
C-SPAN 1 carries the HOUSE.
C-SPAN 2 carries the SENATE.
C-SPAN 3 (most places web only) carries a variety of committee meetings live or other past programming.
OR FEDNET has online feed also.
A great thing about our Government is they make it really easy for the public to research what the Politicians are doing and saying (on the floor anyway).
THOMAS where you can see a RECORD of what Congress is doing each day. You can also search/read a verbatim text of what each Congressmen/women or Senator has said on the floor or submitted 'for the record.' [This is where the real juicy stuff can be found.]
Also found at Thomas are Monthly Calendars for the Senate Majority and Senate Minority
And Monthly Calendars for the House Majority and Roll Call Votes can be found here.
Congress.org <<< Good resource
THE WAR DEPARTMENT (aka The Dept. of Defense)
Thanks..Arlen, sadly, looks and sounds awful
tapping my foot here...
He's worried about appealing to the dems????
seems like that to me...
This is ONE big ego trip for Arlen..he's sounding like he's telling the president what and when to do..
Sounds like they're really getting ready for a new Supreme Court nominee.
Arlen is a walking ego trip.
I have no idea where he's heading with all this. Doesn't sound right to me though...
THUD! Sorry about that. My head just hit the keyboard. I'm awake again.
I'm haveing a hard time hearing him, webfeed.
"Walking of a bridge"

Arflen has never said today that the nominations deserve an up or down vote..
