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...

[newnhdad]

Now we have jack booted thugs and soon we'll be strip searching ten year old warrants and shooting 15 year old people in the back... Oh that's okay if Kerry does it.

[Mo1]

Gestapo-like tactics! Janet Reno anyone?

it's ok for Janet .. she's a dem

[Cboldt]

Gestapo-like tactics! Janet Reno anyone?

Jack McGaw anyone?

[debg]

Alito supports gestapo-like tactics!

I thought the Democrats were warned not to make Ted Kennedy the face of their party.

[maggief]

"Will he come out for that mutha ... who has a child ... with asthma?"

And can you believe that is an ACTUAL QUOTE? LOL

I was wondering where he was going with that.

[1066AD]

Is Kerry going to speak or has he returned to yodelling school ?

[LisaFab]

Didn't have it. Jeffords made a 'morning business' statement against Alito, then the chair stated that the Dems would control the first hour, and the Pubs the second.

[BigSkyFreeper]

now Teddy is on Gestapo like tactics and a farm

Like stifling the will of the people? Tactics like, forcing gay marriage to be legalized by judicial fiat?

[COBOL2Java]

No, I think Teddy stayed here last night...

[Mo1]

Now he's talking about them passing the Civil Rights Act .. LOL!!!

[Miss Marple]

Knight-Ridder (not democrats says Teddy ....HAHAHA) an "independent" newspaper chain says that Alito won't protect workers, children, people of color, etc.

[jdm]

"I have asthma, but I support Judge Alito. ;-)"

Alito made statements that were offensive to ventriloquist dummies, strippers, singing waiters, and worst of all superheroes, including the Incredible Hulk's wife.

Therefore, I cannot support him. [ \ sarcasm ]

[Graymatter]

I believe the Dems speak during even-numbered hours, the R's during the odd.

[tina07]

yo-dah-lay-he-whoooo.....too funny!

[Mayflower Sister]

How many votes do Teddy & Johnny have for a filibuster?

They are such LOSERS

[kjam22]

Yep.... we're gonna roll back the civil rights act you know...

[Cboldt]

What happened to the leader's time this morning?

By unanimous consent, none called for. Straight to Executive Session and debate on Alito.

[tiredoflaundry]

I thought the Democrats were warned not to make Ted Kennedy the face of their party.

Maybe Karl Rove warned them! :-)

[april15Bendovr]

Did he just say "if you are looking for someone to protect women?"
