LIVE THREAD: Senate Democrats fake filibuster of Samuel Alito - C-span 2 10:00am EST

C-span

[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...

[Bush gal in LA]

Hasn't started yet. Frist is now chewing out the RATS for their ridiculous, partisan, unprecedented, disgusting, behavior

[swheats]

"screaming ALITO will break into the Watergate , he'll steal your children, he'll poison your water.........."

Did Kennedy really say that?

[NonValueAdded]

"the sword of the filibuster has been sheathed" Yeah, he is auditioning for Laura.

[Dog]

CRUSH THE DEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pillut48]

for Judge Alito!

[Gunder]

LOL! Hilarious!!

[BigSkyFreeper]

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

That's a legitimate reason. At least if his charter plane is in a holding pattern over RWR International, he'll have plenty of time to shuttle on over to the Capitol.

[maggief]

He's worth waiting for ...;-)

[Mo1]

Frist is milking this moment..

Yea .. but I wish he'd shut up and vote

[Petronski]

Is he stalling? Or is he gloating over what he believes is fait accompli?

[American Quilter]

THey're waiting to get a quorum.

Ah. Thanks, Mama.

[CFC__VRWC]

LOL...window ledges...I never thought that the moonbats could really fly...guess I was wrong.

I'd be happy to give them flying lessons.

Give them a good hard shove off that window ledge, and if they learn to fly before they hit the ground, good for them.

[fatima]

Get to the vote already.

[Chuck54]

I hope he's not stalling because we need one more vote.

That's way to damned close.

[RobFromGa]

the excitement is building in the crowd...

[Gunder]

Me, too. I like Susan Estrich. Don't agree with her on much, but she's fun. And she smiles, unlike most Dems.

[johnmecainrino]

I think the gang of 14 is meeting.

Collins and lieberman were held up at the fema hearing until after 4.

The gang of 14 is still meeting in ben nelson's office. That would be my guess for the delay.

[pillut48]

It's called "rubbing it in" or "rubbing salt in the wounds"--
he just said this is a call for "principle, or partisanship"--
bwahahahaha.

[maica]

Also, its a bit of "I'm the Leader and you're not", to the Sens from Massachusetts.
