Drudge also says Mary Landrieu (D, LA) urges against a filibuster, saying the time could be better spent voting on Katrina relief. She's also a member of the Gang of 14.
Maybe the scenario developing is that Lurch will launch a filibuster but cloture will be invoked the regular way, with at least 60 voting for cloture & circumventing the Nuclear Option. Then the RATS can say "Well, we tried."
But if a filibuster is stopped by cloture, doesn't that mean the Senate gets an additional 100 hours for debate? So they talk past the SOTU address.
HE'S VOTING YES !!!!
CSPAN JUST PUT A "Y" AFTER HIS NAME.
UNBELIEVABLE !!
My bet is Kerry's people are telling him if he filibusters he will take away the loony lefts primary vote from Hillary.
Guess Kerry realize yet that Hillary will publish his military records on the front page of the Slimes and call him a chickens*&t in front of the whole nation.
