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...

Boxer is proud to be a loser.

Just barely.

Hey Babs .. there is a reason why there is one party that is ruling

BECAUSE THE VOTERS PUT THEM THERE

[A Citizen Reporter]

"We fell short of the 41 votes that we needed...."

Yeah BABS, WAY short.......like about 16 votes! LOL!

Listen to "Her Witchness".....saying "way to go Harry....you must have hit a nerve"...

Does this not sound like a school yard fight between kids, or what???

I have to step out for a minute, please let me know when she mentions being deeply troubled and or concerned.

[prairiebreeze]

Much gnashing of teeth and tearing of fur over in the RAT corners, I'm sure.

Meanwhile, this thread is moving fast. I'm 300 posts behind in no time at all.

Would like to see them try to filibuster a JRB nomination right before the next election! Timing! Timing! Timing!

[MNJohnnie]

Wow! This thread has posted over 1500 posts since confirmation and every one is a jewel! I'm reading just about as fast as I can to keep up!

Boxer ain't too bright (in case anyone here didn't know that.) The aged botoxed skank can't even get Shakespeares's "doth protest too much" line right.

"Ginsburg's been treated for cancer. I've heard she had breast and cervical cancer, but then I heard it was another kind, so I'm not sure."

I haven't heard about any other health issues, but I'm certain that Justice Ginsburg was diagnosed with colon cancer and had surgery in Sept., 1999 to treat the disease.

Oh lordy - I had just taken a drink of some very good Pinot Grigio when I read your post....I now have to clean my desk, monitor AND keyboard....I spewed wine everywhere! And I thought my laugh of the day was the fat guy from Mass spewing his vile!!!!

She is dense. Seriously. Like that Patty Murray. Both are dense. Incapable of original thought.

[Txsleuth]

You wouldn't have had to drink too much...LOL

[small voice in the wilderness]

"We felt it was appropriate to use that historic tool in order to show the American People that although we lost, we were willing to stand up.." Or something along those lines.

DeMint is a SOLID conservative. But this is far and away the BEST he's been. Superb.

[Indy Pendance]

I don't have a tv in this room, so, I can pay attention to a fast moving thread.

[Pukin Dog]

Clean? Now, if it were a fine Syrah, I would expect you to lick it up.

I was stuck at school doing report card grades, but i did have the tv in the room set to CSPAN and listened. I did a double take when I hear Reid of Nevada votes Yes for closure. A minute later I came to my senses when Reid changed his vote to no.
