I know that's the right course, but it never hurts to wish just once we could play this game.

In a world of sound bites Roberts speech is doing nothing. It is a rational breakdown of the idiocy of the Democrats that we can all understand and respect, but who is going to list the amount of info in his 15 minutes?

Oh, but I guess it's ok for the RATS to do it time and time again while the pubs look on....sheesh, for once I would love to hear them say...YOU threw a hissy fit now you have to pay the consequences for that little tantrum! Will there be a consequence? I doubt it! This is a firing shot to see how the pubs will act when the filibuster really HITS THE FAN!!

How about they investigate Leahy, Durbin and Kerry for outing agents on the floor publicly?

I knew Roberts would go off.

Who cares. Nobady watches the evening news anymore anyway unless they're over 60. The net and cable is where we all get our news now and it's tougher for the Dims to spin stupid stunts like this. This will end up in our favor in the end. Watch.

Roberts is making the dems look foolish....even more so than they do themselves. This is better than we could have hoped for.

They are doing this to stall the Alito nomination. They are looking for stuff on Alito and this is their way of putting off the inevitable.

Actually, I think its a panicked response to Graham and DeWine announcing they would support the Nuke option and Frist's announcement that, if necessary, he will use it. That gives us 51 votes (with Cheney). The Rat's only remaining threat is to shut down the entire senate so that no business, not even nuclear options, can get done.

This is basically a demonstration of what they threaten if the nuke option passes--trying to shake some support for it.

Yes, Michael Medved had a guest on that said all the middle school, high school and college kids are being urged to skip school tomorrow!

Imagine that.

They were working on the spending reduction bill before this nonsense started. The Dems just wanted to change the subject, because their 'Fitzmas' fizzled on them. This was an act of desperation, and FReepers need to calm down and see it for just that. HOW MUCH EVIDENCE OF US WINNING DO YOU PEOPLE NEED?

Just heard the (oddly enough, balanced) report from the guy MSNBC has at the Senate- he said the Dem's calling for closed came out of the blue- NO Republicans were warned ahead of time. The bottom line is- the Dems had a tantrum demanding the Reps do something that was ALREADY scheduled to take place. This is a complete fabrication from what I can see. Reid had a fit.

If the Dems try to impeach, they die (politically).

In all sincerity, I wish you WERE Darth Vader...there's a neat little trick that you could do to Harry Reid and the rest of those traitorous a-holes.

Of course it won't, but the Dems don't live in reality.

The averahe American just wants them to get along. they aren't happy with Reps, but they are disgusted by Dems.

As a result of this I'm determined to re-elect all Republicans next year just to pay them back and add to the ranks. That wasn't my mood before this stunt. Thanks Dems. You've guarenteed I want your blood more than I want DeWine or Chafee to go down.
