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...

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

BINGO!

Yes, but they don't have that many votes against cloture.

The same John Corzine, whose hairstylist is a NYC sewer rat.

Yeah, and I think the same rat does Biden's hair too.

There's a difference between voting no on the nomination and no on cloture. Lieberman is voting no for nomination but will not support a filibuster (and thus is voting yes for cloture).

Clear as mud, eh?

He's a partisan hack, whether he gets his marching orders from a walking dead man or not.

Byrd is different; he has said before and voted before that the President has a right to his nominees unless they are clearly unqualified. He has voted for other nominees that were filibustered and voted no on by many of the Dems. So, no, Byrd was not surprising on THAT ONE ISSUE. Otherwise he is horrible.

This is almost entirely a party line vote (except for Chaffee and a few sane Dems). Does anyone think we'll get 60 votes?

Who says the Democrats aren't a religious party? I mean, Sandra Day O'Oconnor is a "living God" according to these speeches.
