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...

Which is the number one reason why we need to

REPEAL THE SEVENTEENTH AMENDMENT

Just doing that one thing would fix alot of problems in this country.

I love how they are hanging on by a single thread now, and it's starting to fray. . . . How do you help people like that?

How about a pair of scissors?

My two senators from the state of NJ voted against one of our favorite son's.

The Son's of Italy and Knights of Columbus are not going to be happy.

If Kerry had claws for hands, he'd be an orange lobster, but...alas, he's forever known as a pumpkin head....picked in september, carved in october, and thrown out in november.

And rotten to the core he was, too!

Are you watching Fox???? Major Garret interview with Reid? Do you know what tribes gave money to Ried? I don't think it was Nevada tribes as he's trying to make it sound?

Several years ago, he was President Bush's Dem go-to man on tax reduction. Back in 2001 - 02.

I thought Chafee was going to vote "Nay" for cloture. Looks like he did otherwise

In a real pickle is Senator Hagel... he's a big a turncoat as Chaffee, maybe he thinks by abstaining he won't tick everyone off????

Hagel is one who needs his a** whipped. He is just pathetic. I think I detest him more than McCain. And that's saying a LOT

Not voting is the same as voting against Clouter. Hagling is another Rabidly Ignorant Nasty Opportunist that needs to be fired.

As one of the gang-of-14, he's betwixt a rock and a marshmallow on that one.

Lincoln Chaffee (R-RI) - Against Filibuster - AGAINST the nominee.
Chafee has long signaled his worry that a filibuster against Alito would gridlock the Senate. Hourahan reaffirmed Thursday that the senator would join fellow Republicans in voting to shut off debate.

"A Democrat from Montana?"

"Is that normal?"

My husband was born in Montana and he just said Montana is primarily democratic because it is a strong union state (Miners)
