LIVE THREAD: Senate Democrats fake filibuster of Samuel Alito - C-span 2 10:00am EST
C-span

Posted on 01/30/2006 5:57:36 AM PST by ken5050

Good Monday morning, fellow Freeper political junkies. One of the more ridiculous episodes of political theater is about to play itself out on the Senate floor, as the John Kerry-led democrats mount an exercise in political futility which will further expose their total irrelevance..So join us today, or drop in on occasion, for the festivities...

Kerry's just re-hashing Kennedy's floor speech.


John! We've already heard this from Teddy.

[Maybe Kerry thinks he is now Ted Kennedy.]

I just heard on the radio news Chafee is going to vote no on Alito.

Chafee just got a higher ADA rating than Ben Nelson (D, Nebraska).

Also, is Snowe voting aye? If so, then there is a good chance to make some money over at trade sports. 54 R + Byrd, Conrad, Johnson, Nelson= 58 + 2 from NJ.

I think Snowe will vote AYE, not that it matters to the nomination, but it would help the DEMs get to 60 votes.

What's the line on Tradesports? Number of votes for nominee at 60+?

I had the same thought when Stabenow was ranting.

Senators haven't had enough time to debate.
#####

I certainly hope that Frist comes to the floor with a poster showing all the empty hours alloted to Dem Senators. I am going to call his office now to inquire about it.

Kerry talking about people being kicked off their farms is cracking me up. Isn't this the same guy who opposed the elimination of the estate tax? How many of THOSE people are going to lose their family farms?

I think all the Dems want to do is create a record of their arguments so someday someone can look them all up and see who said what. Geez, these guys really hate Alito, and their speeches against him have run the gamut from A-Z. I would like to know how accurate the arguments cases-in-point are accurately portrayed by these naysayers. There are too many and I can't follow them and have no way of knowing if the Democrats are leaving out important information or not - which may be exactly what they are hoping for.....

These jerks think they're being watched by millions on C-SPAN, LOL! I'm beginning to think it's only we conservatives who are watching them on the equivalent of the Gong Show.

Listening to the live debate, it seems the democrats are very anti-police.

Kerry: "I don't know. I don't have a clue."


[Finally, Kerry admits he is clueless.]

Only a Dem could put government into your wallet, your bank, the size of your toilet, the smoking section of a bar and then scream that only now are we threatened with unwarrented government intrusion into our personal lives.
