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...

Just on Fox that Ensign probably wouldn't be there this afternoon, but may be there tomorrow.....Wish someone with a medical airplane would air lift him in.....Carry him in on a stretcher for this afternoon vote....The MSM would carry that and knock KKK right off the airwaves.

SLAVERY was settled law. The RIGHT to have your slave returned to you in irons from a "free" state was settled law. Separate But "Equal" was settled law.

Exactly. But on a bunch of other stuff you can count on Byrd to be a NUT.

Yes, but no fears, he [Lurch] says he'll be back.

He aksed to have his comments put in the record as if he read them.
He's done, except for voting.

The votes on the C-span screen are for confirmation, not cloture.

There are some voting no to Alito but will not support a Sillybuster.

I always get a big chuckle out of these Dems who quote how
slavery used to be the law of the land, but new laws changed America for the better; how women couldn't vote, but new laws changed America for the better; how civil rights weren't granted to African-Americans, but new laws changed America for the better--

BUT!!!!

Roe can't be changed because it is WRITTEN IN STONE!!! IT'S SETTLED LAW!!! IT'S A CASE OF STARE DECISIS!!!

Those Liberal Demmies, what cut-ups they are (literally, if you ask a child who's been aborted).

Did he say that Bush has "asserted the right to torture prisoners?"

You KNOW Bayh is going to vote no on clooture and no on Alito. He voted no on Roberts!

I hope Hoosiers are paying attention! Bayh is NOT a moderate. He is just a liberal who talks softly and has execuive hair.

I'm curious to learn the adoption rate amongst anti-abortion supporters. One never sees those data, and it might help the cause.

Well, I left to run some errands in the last hour and just got back myself. Not much new, so far, today. Kerry took the floor again, saying that there has not been enough time for debate.

He spoke towards the end of the dims hour, and when time ran out on him, he asked for 15 mins more. Mitch McConnell was up, and he said, No way, this is OUR TIME.

Yes he does, but he has been consistent on this issue of judges, balance of powers and the constitution.
