Just what do these clowns prove by 30 hours of this blather? Except for cluttering up the T-V what have they accomplished.?I look at it this way: Any time they're not screwing around with our money and our laws is certainly time well spent.

I haven't followed this as closely as I should---are the Republicans trying to force the Dems to conduct a REAL filibuster?

Okay, I'm a dumbs**t...
How is the filibuster going to work? Does ONE person have to keep talking, can they pass from one to the next?
Can someone fill me in on the rules?
(Really I'm not as dumb as I post.)

AMEN
In case you haven't seen this:
* Tom Harkin (D-IA) "Have the guts to come out and vote up or down
.And once and for all, put behind us this filibuster procedure on nominations."
(Cong. Rec., 6/22/95, S8861)
* Joseph Biden (D-DE) "everyone who is nominated is entitled to have a
vote on the floor."
(Cong. Rec., 3/19/97, S2540)
* Richard Durbin (D-IL) "If, after 150 days languishing on the Executive Calendar that name has not been called for a vote, it should be. Vote the person up or down."
(Cong. Rec., 9/28/98, S11021)
* Carl Levin (D-MI) "If a bipartisan majority of the U.S. Senate is prepared to vote to confirm the President's appointment, that vote should occur."
(Cong. Rec., 6/21/95, S8806)
* Edward Kennedy (D-MA) "If our
colleagues don't like them, vote against them. But give them a vote."
(Cong. Rec., 2/3/98, S292)
* Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) "Let's bring their nominations up, debate them if necessary, and vote them up or down."
(Cong. Rec., 9/11/97, S9165)
* Tom Daschle (D-SD) "I find it simply baffling that a Senator would vote against even voting on a judicial nomination."
(Cong. Rec., 10/5/99, S11919)
* Patrick Leahy (D-VT) "I have stated over and over again
that I would object and fight against any filibuster on a judge, whether it is somebody I opposed or supported."
(Cong. Rec, 6/18/98, S6521)
* Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) The filibuster "has unfortunately become a commonplace tactic to thwart the will of the majority."
(Cong. Rec., 1/4/95, S36)

And the owner of your TV! Thank you. At three years old, I did not get to dictate what was watched on TV in our house. No way.
In fact, I didn't get to dictate that until I got a black and white 13-inch TV for my bedroom as a teenager. LOL
