You know, I don't think we made enough of what Harry Reid said when he was objecting to Frist getting this started this morning....

The first thing he said was that the dems would not agree to ANY committee meetings during these nominations...


Which I say means, that they have basically closed down the Senate from doing its business, which is what they threatened to do--

I hear Mary Landreiu last night talking about her committee meetings re: the energy bill, and that she was going to propose the use of nuke power...all that has stopped.

Were the BRAC hearings on C-pan 2, senate hearings?

I was wondering while ago, listening to Leahy et al., they aren't talking too much about the nominees.

This looks like a fillibuster to me.

C-SPAN 3 has it captioned for those hearings, but they are showing Bush on a rerun swearing in U.S Trade Representatives.

I noticed that as well, they were bound and determined to block the beginning of this session I was proud of Sam Brownbeck for ruling Kennedy out of order! I was proud of Frist for not caving! Go GOP!

So are we now in a quasi-nuclear meltdown?

I thought my wallet felt a bit safer today for some reason.
