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...

I hope he's okay but this could loom large.

Fox just had an alert on it with no further information -- I hope he's going to be okay, I really like him and some really bad people want his senate seat.

I thought the cloture vote was today and the vote is tomorrow morning.

That was not a time management problem. Kerry did that purposefully so he can say he hasn't had enough time to speak.

Good point. Too bad he didn't take a couple hours on Friday. Time was available then too.

But you're right, I think. He's setting up a sound bite for after cloture passes.

The nomination vote is on Tuesday IF 60 Senators agree on cloture this afternoon. 8am in Nevada is 11am in DC, isn't it? I guess he could have just made it in time.

I don't think she'd moved in yet -- those photos are from the broker's listing -- the seller's furnishings.

Hillary usually schedules herself so that she is the most important mouth on the 6 o'clock news.

You know on additional reflection there is something really intresting about all of the Daily Stupids, the Dumpsters and the Democrat Senators. They are the phoniest people on earth. Everything they say, everything they do is done NOT out of any genuine feeling or principal, it is all done for show. They are the most affected people I have ever seen. Nothing is real about them, everything is for show. What pathetic losers these people are.

It's awful to say (think), but what was the political party of the drivers in the other vehicles? At this point I don't trust the rats to do or not do anything.

He was one of the McCain 14, and said he'd not vote no against any judge, except it was an "extreme" issue.

That's not the guts of the gang's agreement. The gang's agreement wasn't on how to vote on a nominee - it was to get to the vote. IOW, they agreed not to abuse cloture.

Not according to the C-Span crawl, but with this gang who knows. Now Span said it would be today. I am confused. Trying to keep up with these guys requires a lot of attention. With any luck Ensign is on his way.
