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...

They locked down the forum to keep us from celebrating their loss. Too bad for them, I've still got my login.

They're not happy campers.

I guess Chaffe wouldn't vote for the filibuster but will just vote tomorrow against Alito.
