LIVE THREAD: Reid presser. C-span2, 1PM.. followed by Senate session....Frist's comments..
C-span

Posted on 05/16/2005 9:54:06 AM PDT by ken5050

OK, folks..let's se what going to happen today as we move closer to the showdown in the Senate. Live, at 1 PM EST on C-span 2, "Searchlight" Reid is holding a presser to discuss judicial nomination. The Senate then convenes at 2PM, and as Majority Leader, Frist will make the opening statement. Then Reid will speak. Frist as pissed at Reid last week..for announcing a possible compromise on the Senate floor without FIRST telling him of it..and Frist has yet to speak about Reid's comments about FBI files. Should be fireworks..

Oh, now we get a little Dubya break for the next 15 minutes. Cool, I missed this.

Friends,
This battle is over. Reid had 'defeat' dripping from every word he spoke. We've won.
Peace.

CA elected Boxer and Feinstein in the same year, when then Senator Pete Wilson, was elected Governor of CA... the term of his replacement (appointee) expired, and thus the same year election of two US senators.

Says he has had senators come up here today saying "I know you're right, but I can't vote with you,"

Hopefully their names are Lieberman and Nelson.

Yes. It was a union-thug type thing with the required angry black woman and pasty white libeal lady, Ralph Neas with his usual babble, and the Union head demanding Bush stop -- well, basically everything he's doing.

Then Reid came up and ask for six GOPers for a "Profiles in Courage" redux to stop Bush.

Just your general run-of-the-mill DNC press conference/convention/fund raiser claptrap.

Oh-OH --- Bush unwilling to take baby steps. All or nothing.

Ahhh .. So Harry is trying to paint President Bush as a far right winger again huh??

President Bush is NOT far right and the people that voted for him are NOT far right

Ya think the Dems would learn by now .. that kind of talk doesn't work

That's right, Rob, and I am not fooled for one minute, that the democrats would use the nuke option were the situation reversed.

True. that was my assessment. But it really is pathetic to see a grown man practically cry.

Still, RINO's are RINO's. We need to make sure Frist keps the vote so pressure needs to continue to be applied.

Sounds like this was one of those 60 yard tosses to the endzone with time expiring.

Exactly. They have been so damn smug about the fillibuster, when in fact, they ought to be forced to fillibuster the correct way: 24/7 or not at all.

I say go for the "nuke" vote. Let's see who shirks their duty.
