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've seen some calls from DU and DC for the Dems to boycott the vote tomorrow--are they allowed to do that? Can the Senators just not show up for the vote, once cloture passes in an hour or so?

Anyone know... will the Cloture vote be at 4:30 SHARP?

In other words, do I have time to run an errand? :-)

He'd have a better chance of informing a larger audience in this thread, instead of "thinning out the herd" as it were with separate threads.

Dude, I've been working all day and just checked into this thread within the past 20 minutes. Updates come continuously. If you want to know what the short story is, just post a question on the thread and lots of Freepers will give you the story pronto.

Here's the short story for today: Sucks to be a 'Rat.

Thats only if Kerry shuts up in time. He's supposed to speak again at 4:00 because he had an asthma attack cause by republicans before. GAAAAAAAAAASP!!

It'll start within a minute or two of that. But it takes 15-25 minutes to run through the vote.
