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..
TOPICS: Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: 109th; filibuster; reid; ussenate

It's very rare when TWO Senate seats in the same state are contested the same year..be curious to know when it last happened...we would get a new SJC chair...I do not know when the last time it happened. I imagine it may have though.
As for the new SJC Chair, I belive John Kyl is next in line. Heck, I wanted him to chair it since before this session started.

Sorry, my friend, you're wrong..there are 4..the Maine Pigeon sisters..McCain, and Chaffee..no way that committee chairs Warner and Specter vote against their leader..and if Hagel has ANY idea of running of rthe WH in 2008..no way he bucks the base..

If it weren't for people that vote for the libertarians and constitution party frist would have the votes for the nuclear option. AMEN! These rules-based so-called "principled" people can't see the forest for the trees.

kewl...he's cooked and he knows it..."Republican senators who have called me 'we know you are right, but we can't vote with you." I want to know who they are, so we can finance a primary challenge.

I think Ford's unlce (can't remember his name. John, maybe?) will resign and will be buried before anyone but people like us know anything about him. The folks in Memphis who the elder Ford "represents" will still vote for Ford, Jr., and everyone else will not know about it. The Republicans will be to nice to bring it up, because they won't hold Ford, Jr. accountable for the deeds of his uncle.
