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...

Hi, Christian. Well, in comparison to Kennedy, I'm actually more sane than I thought I was. LOL

Has the cloture vote started? (I'm cubicle-bound, and really appreciate the FReepers who are keeping me informed.) I'm listening to Hannity, who indicated it had started, but he hasnt' said anything more. (He's interviewing Pat Caddell and Ann Coulter.)

What's happening on the vote?

But Specter keeps repeating that Alito DID say it was a living document. I've heard no such thing!

Thanks for the pictorial essay on the term "high dudgeon".

The only question is, "High on what?"

Serious question for anyone who knows:

Does the Senate have a full time medic team on hand? There are so many old guys there that a medical emergency could very well come up at any time.
