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

C-span

[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..

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.

[CyberAnt]

I agree.

[marajade]

thanks for link. After reading that article I'd be chomping at the bit to vote for Bolton.

We're calling him "horrid Harry" 'cause it fits!

[ken5050]

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..

[plain talk]

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.

Paul Sarbanse taken to the hospital.......Per Reid.

[Dad yer funny]

"THE HORRID UNDERTAKER" just mentioned Sarbanes

[EQAndyBuzz]

"Not only a far right winger.... Bush is an EXTREMIST!"

I knew that when Bush asked Colin Powell then Condi to be SecState.

[Coop]

Every single election folks focus on the recruiting failures, but in the end things work out.

[OXENinFLA]

Here comes Reid's hissy fit.....

[onyx]

I missed that about Sarbanes.

[Howlin]

Horrid Harry is speaking again!!!

[ken5050]

Rid is whining....FRist didn't address the issue..Reid is calling him out on it..challenging Frist's leadewrship of hisa own caucus..Frist will have to respond..here it comes..

[Keith]

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.

[tnlibertarian]

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.

[onyx]

I doubt that I can endure much more droning by horrid Harry --- profiles in courage. Damn, he's a broken record.

[Howlin]

Has Frist spoken in reply???

[ken5050]

Remember the Wellstone memorial..the weird guy implored the Republicans to elect a liberal Dem..
