Welcome, all you Freepers, to the continuing C-span soap operas about judicial nominations. "The Guiding SEARCHLIGHT, " "As the SENATE Turns, "One NOMINATION to Live" "GERIATRIC Hospital" (for all you Byrd and Lautenberg fans out there). Follow along with us, as the Dems raise the level of histrionics, bloviation, pontification, and all around bad acting to new highs, er, lows...
"This is good news.. No work, the more my wallet feels safe.. Harry Reid did us a favor.."
I just wished they did this before sending the transportation bill through. That would have saved us another 280 billion and Bush then could have said he wiped out the deficit.
That would have drove the dems off the bridge. oops...
It akes unanimous consent to waive a rule. Any single Senator has the power to withhold consent. Any single Senator has the power to effectively "shut down" the Senate.
See also Rule XXVI above.
Well, since most things that the Senate is supposed to do requires "unanimous consent", I thought that if even the minority objected to committees meeting, they couldn't, but, I know who we can ask---
Cboldt, are you out there?
AHA! Take THAT Schmuckie! [sfx: elephant roar]
Dirty Harry: MAKE MY DAY!
Stop these nominees or else....
I think there was originally more drama to the cup and saucer story. Someone poured coffee in their saucer and someone said what are you doing? Then the analogy came to past. It's like any story that gets passed around...."You had to be there" for the whole truth.
WHo the heck even usues a saucer any more? I use coffee mugs.
You beat me by a few seconds!! Guess I was too wordy!!
LOL
Exactly!!!!!!
I use saucers when I have company and when I feel like a real 'cup-o-coffee' experience!
IIRC, some time ago the cup-is-to-saucer question was pulled from an IQ test. It was deemed racist because minorities don't have complete sets of dishes.
LOL! They probably give deceit a big wet kiss every night.
My mom-in-law prefers cups. She has severe arthritis and prefers cups to mugs :)
Schumer's nervous because there are two NY bases on the checkerboard right now and he knows he's in the wrong place.
I get a saucer with my espresso at some shops... still use ice to cool it (I've got a "cats tongue"). But I don't pour out my drink into the saucer, that doesn't make any sense to me.
I knew it--- I knew you would know the answer!!! THANK YOU!
I don't know you, but I love you! LOL Perfect!
LOL - We could stick a fork in Feinstein.
She's done.
Nope, she has some time left. She's going to rip JRB.
Did she just say "I represent Cali., and this is very hard for me to do"? I'm sure I misheard it...
