[dixiechick2000]

BTTT!

[NeoCaveman]

why bother....

[Bahbah]

Here we go again. I'm going to keep an eye out for Jim Talent of Missouri.

[mhking]

[yawn] Again?

[firewalk]

Thanks

[cyncooper]

why bother....

It's called "Making a record".

[cynicom]

Yawn...Ho Hum

[NeoCaveman]

It's called "Making a record".

seems like a broken record 55 - 44.... again (if everyone shows up)

[pulaskibush]

Put me on your Estrada pinglist.

[Wphile]

Let me guess. It'll be 55-45, assuming all members present. Won't be one vote more than 55. This is getting tiresome. I wish the GOP would change their strategy here.

[pulaskibush]

They'll probably screw him over again, along with Owen. I take this and send it to every person I know. Tommorrow will be the 3rd year anniversary of their nominations.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

This could be the time for Talent's constitutionality challenge.

[pgyanke]

I'm praying this is the last such vote before the strategy changes to hardball tomorrow on Estrada's nomination anniversary. There have been a lot of Constitutional discussions, I'd like to see them put into action.

If not... I agree with you... it's just more of the same.

[Howlin]

Okay!

[mabelkitty]

ASK THE DEMOCRATS HOW MUCH THIS IS COSTING OUR COUNTRY?

TWO SIMULTANEOUS FILLIBUSTERS!

[discostu]

The first step in making the dems pay a price for this is to put their names on record over and over and over. Everytime they have to go on record extending the filibuster we gain more ammo for 2004. That's what this is about now, how many of them we get to throwout next year.

[Howlin]

Probably more than it cost to land a plane on an aircraft carrier.
