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...

If they're waiting for Ensign he must be coming in on an experimental fighter jet.

Someone told me he got an Air Force jet.

Anyone with a strong stomach could probably make a lot of money tonight selling NyQuil and shower rods to DU.

They may get so upset that they'll forget themselves and take a shower or something.

"I like Susan Estrich. Don't agree with her on much, but she's fun."

A dripping canker is fun. Estrich is not.

Judge Alito deserves to be Justice Alito.

[Arizona Carolyn]

It would be the only possible way...

[American Quilter]

Not yet-I think in 10 minutes-Frist is speaking.

Thanks, Fatima.

[defconw]

Oh Yeah!

[exdem2000]

[Gunder]

LET'S GO, FRIST!! CALL FOR A VOTE ALREADY!!

At least you don't work for liberals. When I worked in investments in CT, I was surrounded by libs. For a capitalist business, it was pretty surprising to me.

Susan's face lift doesn't hurt the eyes either.

"called the Roswell office - staffer says Bingaman will NOT support the filibuster because "it's going to fail anyway, so what's the use?" - I commented that "the use" is the principled position to protect the gold standard of the constitution on checks and balances - also, that I believe the Senator is familiar with his voting option to abstain -- therefore, the Senator should also count on the fact that those of us in NM will remember this cloture vote of his when he runs again for the Senate in November 2006."

from A Very Upset DUer...who is terrifying this senator, I'm so sure.

Don't even feel like you have to be ashamed; I had John Edwards for six years!

The key difference is the term "had". You were smart enough to NOT fall for it again. Had he ran, you would have thrown him out on his derrier.

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

You mean smiles like this one ...

[maica]

cool, but unless he can get a helicopter to the Capitol, he will still be a good half-hour away when he lands at Langley.
