The GOP is putting the Dems on the record re: whether they will allow a vote on estrada or continue to filibuster. The vote is 10:30. They are having a Quorum Call now.

If the cloture vote gets 60, Estrada will be confirmed today. If less then who knows.

Daschle up now
Sad to have to have vote at all
Democrats want same standard set of judicial nominees

Daschle also playing sad that Estrada has not felt the need to be more cooperative and he hopes this will change in the future. Sounds like he is sure he still has the votes to block.

Just got word that Graham, citing "recent health problems", is abstaining (Axis of Weasel alert) from the vote today.

It's getting REALLY interesting now.

I found the link of the evilDUer site.

Daschle said that? On what precedent is he citing? He needs a copy of the Constitution.
