The Senate meets at noon today, again in Executive Session, for the 3rd day of debate on the nomination of Samuel Alito to SCOTUS. Not sure, what, if anything, will happen today..Will there be a filabuster?..will anyone show up..might be work while checking out the beginning of the session, to get the lay of the land....
Kinda like his story during the run-up to the election.
I meant cloture succeeds when we get 60 votes for it.
Gospel of the Reagan administration? Why that POS. Email time.
The best thing to follow a Kerry speech is 2 shots of 150 proof Jamaican rum chased with sonething stronger.
Not committed yet. (Menendez)
Kerry is quoting Clinton lawyer Beth Nolan, who couldn't remember jack, when she was under oath before congressional hearings.
If someone answers your question would you please ping me? Thanks
You got me!
He hasn't announced....NJ is Alito's home state, and thter is a hevy % of Italian-Americans in the state..so, Menendez may be sweating this..
If he doesn't get that tongue under control soon, I'm going to have the change the channel.
I vote for Graham or Sessions.
Gore of course...
yup , that hiding heroin in diapers started 40 yrs ago ,
... ask any retired cop
Avoid the rush...do it now!
Ha! I just read your tongue comment and turned to look at the TV, and sure enough, he was flicking it again!
maybe sean will have lindsay graham on later and that will answer the question.
Yeah... like Kennedy questioning morals and naming his dog Splash.
WAIT A MINUTE... he just lied!!
He said they had a "fight" on the floor over the torture amendment...BALONEY...
McCain put it up...and Warner and Levin just shoved it through!!!
I think it comes down to a matter of the Democrats wanting to filibuster Alito, but not having the balls to do so, because they know that they are going to need the filibuster as a weapon on the next nomination; the replacement for Justice Ginsberg.
I think the Dems are reading the tea leaves, and trying desperately to keep the money machine turned on in an election year, while at the same time they are repulsing their far-left base by allowing Judge Alito to be approved to SCOTUS. Judge Alito's swearing in isn't going to make the likes of moveon.org and their donation machine happy.
Classic case of painting yourself into a rapidly diminishing blue corner...
But the real line in the sand for the Democrats is going to be when President Bush appoints an outstanding conservative like Janice Brown, to replace the liberal Ginsberg. I think they know it's inevitable and imminent, and the last thing they want to have to fight on in an election year.
Delicious!
