FILIBUSTER BEGINS AT 6:00 P.M. EST!!!!

[Citizen Soldier]

Yes! Chambliss back on! Voice of reason. I swear, since hillary has been there and nancy is there along with the other vitriolic females, this Senate has been diminished and is meaner than ever. The dems have chosen females who are leading them down the road to permanent minority. "they see dead majority" like the movie - all right! now Zell is on with reasoning! Speaking about a hunt! Federalist 58! Yeah!

[EGPWS]

A Democrat that I can actually enjoy listening to and savor his words! : )

[BCrago66]

Federalist 58

"In all cases where justice or the general good might require new laws to be passed, or active measures to be pursued, the fundamental principle of free government would be reversed. It would be no longer the majority that would rule: the power would be transferred to the minority. Were the defensive privilege limited to particular cases, an interested minority might take advantage of it to screen themselves from equitable sacrifices to the general weal, or, in particular emergencies, to extort unreasonable indulgences. Lastly, it would facilitate and foster the baneful practice of secessions; a practice which has shown itself even in States where a majority only is required; a practice subversive of all the principles of order and regular government; a practice which leads more directly to public convulsions, and the ruin of popular governments, than any other which has yet been displayed among us."

[Howlin]

I took a nap earlier today!

[crager]

Nor, can they link...

[swheats]

I think it's the heightened sense of expectancy.

Zell will do for shock right now.

[Ayn Rand wannabe]

I had no idea who this man was before now...I'm kinda jealous, even though Santorum's my Senator! :)

[Howlin]

As well you should be.

I just wish Zell was in prime time!

[Salvation]

Now quoting Margaret Chase Smith.

[Brimack34]

Just think he is a Dem. and he has more smarts then most of the Republican's!!!Coleman office is having a pizza party here in Mn. Bring your pj's.

[Mo1]

Zell is giving the Dems a History Lesson

[BCrago66]

Santorum's a little wet behind the ears.

Zell now quoting Thomas Sowell :)

[Redbob]

Gee, did I address you?

I don't recall that.

[hobson]

I wonder if he will stop talking and allow a cloture vote.

[Freedoms Chaser]

WOW!!! Zell is the man...Give the TRUTH to them Zell.

[max_rpf]

Zell is giving the Dems a History Lesson

A damn good one at that!

[Salvation]

Holmes: It is my job to apply the law.

[onyx]

Dems must hate Zell as much as we love him! LOL!!!!!!!

[Howlin]

Gee, did I address you?

No, but you were talking about me without pinging me; totally bad form.

BTW, that thread is still ongoing. You're free to post there.

[RandallFlagg]

This seems appropriate for this thread. Read these when the rats are on the floor to pass the time. It's really good!
