Sorry didn't I type the 24th? Sorry for the typo
Did the senate vote change...yesterday it was scheduled for the 20th.
I say bring it on, because they've already pi$$ed 15 million dollars down the rat hole. Money that could be well spent in the 2006 midterm elections.
that would be interesting to see!
Back in the day when real fillibusters were the normal way to do it, only the chair, speaker and aides had to be on the floor. Who knows what changes have occurred to the rules over the years. Things are so intensely partisan in the senate these days that even getting a stupid rule changed seems to take an Act of the entire Congress, a ruling by the Supreme Court, and an encyclical from the pope. Sheesh, but the senate annoys me.
Oh-h-h-h-h-h-h! :-)
If Specter did that, the democrats would filibuster in the senate to protest the "unfair treatment of their party by the republicans". The media would jump all over that, and we would lose.
LOL LOL LOL!
```Like I said.. they have a TV ad..
So it begins..```
Which for some reason they cannot show up because they have to change something in it..........
Do you get it yet?
I wish we had had a pro-alito group ready to go as soon as the hearing ended, so C-span had to make a choice of what to cover.
I thought you were gonna scrub pots and pans..?
I refused to listen to any more lib blathering and carping.
I turned on TCM! LOL
LOL! Not that there's anything wrong with that (just kidding)
Sounds like a Lefty Telethon
Pick up the Phone Our operators are waiting for your call! Roflmao
Done!
I think so to. That erruption between Specter and Kennedy was a site to behold. I am happy that is the one day this week that I watched the coverage all day.
Not "not working", it's not ready, because they have to CHANGE it.
Someone should tell that woman at the podium to stand up so we can see her. lol
"In the meantime, I am strongly hoping GWB gets at least one more pick, because I have no faith that any of the current crop of leading presidential wannabes will nominate reliable conservatives."
That would be a great legacy, especially if he nominated 3-4 conservatives.
I am thinking Stevens is next to leave, followed by Ginsberg.
Now .. knowing the Dems .. anything could happen
BTW ... this chick from RI that is speaking ... is soooo gay
