[Howlin]

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

[Laverne]

My cable company shares Cspan2 with E, so at 8pm they cut over to the E channel (whatever that is). I have been on the phone with them several times this evening requesting they share this event with their viewership, but so far no luck. I'll try again in another 15 minutes. All the "supervisors" are involved in other calls, I wonder how many other people are calling to complain. I hope many!

[Not A Snowbird]

Durbin is asking for people to turn off CSPAN!!

What?! That does it, I'm going to go turn CSPAN back on then.

[visualops]

No he said he was sure "people" (us dumb 5-sec attention span Americans) turned off C-Span long ago.

[Maigrey]

Thank You, Thank You!

I'm here all week. Remember to tip the waitstaff, and drink deep!

So says Sens. Kennedy and Byrd.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

The president nominates judges. The senate approves on a majority vote.

[woodyinscc]

I think he doth protest too much! Now he says the President just nominates, and the Senate is the one who appoints. Can you believe this?

[Howlin]

The senate approves on a majority vote.

Not anymore.

[Howlin]

I was just sitting here thanking God my mama raised me a Republican. I honestly couldn't say half that stuff with a straight face.

[GRRRRR]

Uh, Senatwhore Durbin, WE THE PEOPLE are still here, watching you intently lie.
