LIVE SENATE THREAD: C-span 2 - 2PM EST - nomination of John Bolton [Cloture vote fails 54-38]
C-span

Posted on 06/20/2005 10:20:30 AM PDT by ken5050

Good Monday to you all, fellow Freepers and political junkies. I trust everyone had a nice weekend and a good Father's Day. The Senate will convene at 2PM today. They are scheduled for several hours of debate on the Energy bill, then at 6PM, Frist will call for a cloture vote on the nomination of John Bolton for US Ambassador to the UN. Follow along, and comment, as usual..

I liked this part: "Like moths to the flame, Democrats can't help themselves denigrating and demonizing Christians."

Hostettler just withdrew his last sentence...this one:

"Like moths to the flame, Democrats can't help themselves denigrating and demonizing Christians."

This seems to be what Obey is objecting too!

So I guess that ALL exchanges of religous discussion at the Academy among students are out of bounds?

It is. But, it's O.k. for Durbin to compare our soldiers with Nazi's, what a joke!

Right. The rules of the house forbid statements directly impugning other members of the house, or the senate.

So it turns out that they probably have a good case, because he mentioned them directly, but not by name.

It was probably OK to say "democrats", it was the direct reference to the two house members.

Used to be 67 until KKK changed the rule.

I thought it used to be two-thirds of Senators present and voting (and that's why they don't do real filibusters anymore).

I can't figure out where the idiot Obey gets his information. Exactly who is being persecuted? Oh good, Hostettler is up again. 3-1/2 minutes.
