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 predict there will be 65 total votes for cloture, 31 against and 4 abstaining. Let's Rumble!

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!

"Senator Kennedy I KNEW MARTIN LUTHER KING, Jr and You SIR are NO Martin Luther King, Jr. "

I thought he said, "Martini Luther King..."

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

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. :-)

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