Just called Senator Frist's office. They say that the senators have the right to speak as long as they wish.


That is correct unless they reach unanimous consent on a time frame for debate and a vote..... Otherwise the Senators can debate to their hearts content.

The Senate history is that it's a deliberative body in which everyone has the right to be heard. Very little gets done in the Senate without 'unanimous consent'...

Please accept my ritual apology from not only a Marylander but a schoolmate of Babs. She was in love with JFK then, and has never wavered in her fealty to the Kennedy Klan.

Schumer, in summary: He's a really good man, but he's not a leftist, therefore, I cannot vote for him.
