Live Senate Thread...C-span 2..Debate on Gonzales

c-span 2

[ken5050]

Senate has just started debate on Gonzales nomination for AG..Spector is leading off..he's just awful..not sure if he's speaking for or against the nomination..Debate is supposed to end today, with a vote also today...

[Bahbah]

Leahy.."Some of my best friends are Hispanic.."

Exactly. See my comment at #20.

[onyx]

Please post the good stuff and the nasty...
I can only check here periodically today.

[OXENinFLA]

Dems bashing again ping......................

[Bahbah]

Leahy is painting Gonzales as the second coming of Adolph Eichman.

[Mo1]

Hey Leahey .. That was a legal opinion of the LAW

Not his persoanl opinion you idiot

[nutmeg]

Thanks for the ping, Howlin. I'm pretty busy today, but will check in from time to time...

[tiredoflaundry]

what will be the "buzz" word today?? TORTURE!!!!!!!!
listening to Leahy is pure torture!

[cyncooper]

Arlen may have been pathetic but I just turned it on and all I get is Patsy Leahy.

Ick

[ken5050]

Leahy is a far more compelling speaker...when this is rerun..I challenge you to watch Arlen's opening comments..about 15 minutes..you cannot tell if he is speaking FOR or AGAINST the nominee..

[Mo1]

Leahey is saying that Gonzales believes it's ok to cut off the fingers of terrorist in prison

Wow ... this is such a stretch for the Dems


Now he is saying that NO ONE is above the law

[Sacajaweau]

Okay....Heard Hillary is resting today. So she isn't at this hearing? And won't be voting? If this is the case, I'd think real hard about her fainting spell.

[Howlin]

Why does Leahy keep saying "...this president's father...?"

Does he know his name??

[YaYa123]

did I see that right? debate until 12:30? (I got a reminder call from my dentist and had a brain burp)

[mathluv]

Fox has jackson - I am sick of hearing about that. This is of much more importance.

Leaky on now.

[Howlin]

Jesse Jackson? Why?

[cyncooper]

I don't think I want to watch this disgusting display let alone the replay. I commend you for this thread and will content myself with skimming it from time to time to keep an eye on what's going on.

[onyx]

I hate that arrogant a-hole.
I'd love to slap him silly.

[Bahbah]

Fox has jackson - I am sick of hearing about that.

We are going to have to find a cabin in the woods, my FRiend.

Good morning...BTEW..I have a suggestion for the title for tomorrow's live SOTU thread:

"Bush to deliver rebuttle to Democrats' comments"

[cyncooper]

I was skeptical of her "fainting spell" the minute I heard about it yesterday.
