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...

Bennet is doing a great job pointing out who is behind the attacks on the nominee.

Off Topic: Dean has misspent DNC money; only $5M in the bank. Republicans have $34M.

Is this the real vote?

Peach, this afternoon they vote on cloture. Cloture is the cutting off of debate in preparation for moving to "the real vote". However, cloture votes are good indicators of what is to come. (Not the numbers, but that the nomination will pass.) In some ways, they ARE "the real vote". In that if you get past cloture, it's a downhill run from then on.

But no, the confirmation vote is tomorrow at 11:00 am ET.

Chaffe has stated that he will NOT support a fillibuster.

And for the record his father voted to confirm Sam Alito to the federal court and he also voted to confirm Clarence Thomas to SCOTUS.

Oh, I thought he was talking about Barney Frank... but he's already out. Maybe Kerry.

"Do you think that Chaffee didn't tell Frist until today?"

I think when Frist went down the list and got to Chaffee, he turned to his staff and said, "The little weasel will vote for Alito." Then he paused for about 10 seconds, then everyone laughed as he put a big X in the NO column.

Bwahahaa! So there isn't enough $$ for helping the RATS in their reelection campaings. LOLOL!

Gee, wonder where Dr. Demented spent all that cash, it doesn't sound like the RATS even know for themselves. I think they better call for a special prosecutor and congressional investigation.

"There once was a senator from Mass...
Who displayed an abysmal lack of class;
"From Davos I've come,
Because I'm really, really dumb,
Too stupid to give Alito a pass..."

In the far North state of Massachusetts,
From whence come the Kennedys and Kerrys.
The citizens who idolize their fairies,
run the risk of being known as Massoftwoshits.

Semper Fi
