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...

Heh, their "Live Thread" hasn't even cracked 200 posts yet. They must all be getting up after a long hard night of toking.

Odd that C-Span doesn't show a tally.

satellites and UAVs killed the Blackbird...

The SR-71s capability have never been replaced. Sats and UAVs are not as good in many respects.

A non-vote such as abstention or 'present' is essentially a 'no' as 60 votes are need for cloture.

Man, cloture's gonna win easily! All the more of an embarrassment for Kennedy, Kerry, and the other clowns who launched this stupid filibuster.

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

Which is how it should be. Vote yes, vote no...but there should be a vote. That's all we've asked for.
