[A Citizen Reporter]

This from the same state that elected Jesse Ventura as gov? Go figure.

[Legerdemain]

Babs Boxer = "Queen Rat"

[Laverne]

LOL

[FatherFig1o155]

I don't know if this has been addressed before, but can this "discussion" be extended beyond 30 hours if the majority decides to do it?

[Mo1]

Thanks for the update on the Senate Gallery

[Republican Wildcat]

When they force toe senate Dims to REALLY fillibuster

There is a real filibuster going on. The "real" filibuster you are referring to seems to be wanting them to talk, talk, talk...well,they don't have to do that unless they just want to. As long as there aren't the votes for cloture, the nomination is stalled, regardless of whether or not they chose to hold the floor.

[Fred Mertz]

You DC guys & gals rock! Hugs!

[Salvation]

Did anyone post the contact info for Boxer?

[Torie]

Yes, this is the Dem beta hour. Schumer should have just stayed up all night. He is pretty good in the pit.

[Howlin]

So what does the sign they were talking about being in violation of Rule 17 say????

[not-alone]

Frist said yesterday they might go over 30 hrs

[CyberAnt]

No they didn't .. the founders expected the electorate to be smart enough to figure it out when they had made a mistake and elected an idiot (see: Gray Davis). What the dems have done is DUMB DOWN the electorate so the dems could continue to get away with their corrupt actions.

What happened .. HOMESCHOOLING!! Talk Radio .. FOX News!!

[bjcintennessee]

They need to re read the whole Constitution

That implies that they ever read it in the first place. - LOL

Howlin,

Gotta go now. I was a late arrival, but I enjoyed the thread. Thanks!

Tom

PS: I only received a couple of Moe Howard eye gouges from my fellow FReepers! 'Twas fun indeed!

I don't know if this has been addressed before, but can this "discussion" be extended beyond 30 hours if the majority decides to do it?

Yes they can make them longer if they choose to do so from what I understand.

[ex 98C MI Dude]

I console myself with the thought that future historians will look at todays Dems and say "What were those putzes thinking? Were they even thinking?"

[nhoward14]

It wasn't until I attached a toilet seat to my TV screen that I got a true perspective on what I watching when the Democrats had the floor!!!!

[Howlin]

How do you spell "Shudup?"

[BlueOx]

Darn I have to go to work tomorrow!!! Exciting game of politics going on all night ... and Susanne Somers is having a 5-hour jewelry sale on HSN!!!! Darn it!!! wish I didn't have to sleep!!!!

[Mo1]

Good point !!
