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

C-span

[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...

[fatima]

He said NO.

[newnhdad]

Okay Frank. New Jersey is no longer a colony. They won't rise up because the president authorized the NSA to listen in on terrorists.
Remember those two buildings??

[Petronski]

Abstention is the same as "no" on cloture, because they have a no-filibuster agreement.

[Otho]

If Senators' floor votes could be by proxy there probably would never be more than 4 Senators on the floor (and one presiding.) Two on each side; one to make motions for his side, the other to second them. Also, why would they need quorum calls?

[Founding Father]

Lautenberg votes No. Alito carries a legal agenda with him.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Only if you believe her show is interesting enough for my eyes. You're in the know ya Oprah GROUPIE!

"Right now on CSPAN2 in NYC, they have a guy preaching from a mosque instead of what should be on... they do it every weekend also. Saturday it was inflammatory. Who all should I call?"

Seriously? OMG!

[Mo1]

Lautenberg says his ancestors came to America because they didn't want a king.. they didn't want a King George

Lautenberg's ancestors were pilgrims that came from england??

[pillut48]

Only if it lasted 33 years. Then it is written in stone, and Judge Alito has no right to take a chisel to it!!
/sarc off

[katieanna]

Lautenburg referred to Pres. Bush as "King George". This debate is beneath the dignity of the Senate.

[newnhdad]

Here's Menendez.

[fatima]

Menendez-New Jersey up-He is starting positive:)

[fzx12345]

Klinton?

[defconw]

I noticed that as well. Lautenberg almost sounded alive.

[hoosiermama]

That would work.....Kennedy, Kerry and Klinton....the new KKK!

[Mo1]

Okay Frank. New Jersey is no longer a colony. They won't rise up because the president authorized the NSA to listen in on terrorists. Remember those two buildings??

Frank forgets that during the war ... Congress handed over powers to Washington to win the war against England

[Txsleuth]

Since 2000....the debate on the Senate floor has been undignified by the dems...

[Founding Father]

Menendez to vote no now that he's received marching orders from Lautenberger.

[OXENinFLA]

Menendez-New Jersey up-He is starting positive:)

Give him time, he'll start slamming both Bush and Alito.

Did you forget CORZINE put this man in place?

I detect a But-monkey.
