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 predict there will be 65 total votes for cloture, 31 against and 4 abstaining. Let's Rumble!
To: LisaFab
But Specter keeps repeating that Alito DID say it was a living document. I've heard no such thing!Me neither! Otherwise Byrd wouldn't be supporting this nomination!

I want the VOTE!!!!!
Frist would like to reflect. Wake me when the vote starts.
To: Founding Father
I'll repeat that Specter has done an outstanding job throughout the Roberts and Alito nominations. Yup. I'm almost sorry I didn't vote for him. Anyway, this justifies Santorum's endorsement.

Hi, Christian. Well, in comparison to Kennedy, I'm actually more sane than I thought I was. LOL Compared to Chappakennedy, Howard Dean sounds like Ben Stein. (sorry, Ben)

Frist is a total idiot! He's taking extra time to yammer away when he should shut his mouth promptly at 4:30....to demonstrate discipline, if nothing else.
Why set the time limit if you aren't going to stick to it?
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
To: American Quilter
No vote yet. Frist is using leader time. Vote will be at approximately 4:40 PM EST.
To: NautiNurse
Good Lord...I'm sorry I had to miss that-or maybe I'm not, lol!

Yeah, that's who I listen too, but apparently he's on time delay here--he's a couple hours behind when live things happen.
Looks like I forgot about the karate class. Oops!
That's okay, I'll make it up to my girl. :-)
To: American Quilter
Not yet-I think in 10 minutes-Frist is speaking.

Maybe Frist is stalling as Ensign is reportedly on his way.
