I hope to actually *see* a filibuster tonight! Never seen one. Not sure I will.

How does the majority filibuster..... A filibuster is conducted by the minority when they want to stop a cloture vote on an item..... The majority just doesn't call it to the floor if they don't want it to be discussed or voted on.

This is only a talkathon by Frist and the Pubbies..... Daschle and the Dems decided to join in the fun and get their licks in also.....

Heck tough duty....... allocate an hour to some 30 Pubs and let them share 30 minutes each with some Dem and we'll have a gab fest....

Your tax dollars at work..... At least they aren't raising taxes in this 30 hour gab fest......

Well, we now have 3 cloture motions to the desk!

Agreed. This is nonsense, foisted by the impotent 'pubs to deflect the quite justifiable criticism that they are folding to the Dims vis a vis Judicial appointments. When they force toe senate Dims to REALLY fillibuster, I would definitely be interested. This is all talk and no hat.
