LIVE THREAD: Senate Coverage AND Senate Foreign Relations Committee vote on Bolton nomination
C-span

Posted on 04/19/2005 11:07:48 AM PDT by ken5050

OK..here's what we know..Senate is in recess for the weekly party caucus luncheons. Supposed to resume at 2:15. on C-span 2.. The Foreign Relations committee is supposed to meet at 2:45 to vote on the Bolton nomination. Lugar has refused requests for a delay. Just before the Senate recessed, Reid objected to Frist's UC request for the Froeign Relations committee to meet today. Frist withdrew his request..

When the Senate convenes at 2:15..the Dems are supposed to move to adjourn..without enabling the FR committee to meet..

Soudn to me like the Dems figure since Frist is gonna go nuclear..they should start screwing up the place now...

Follow along here as it plays out...

I tentatively believe that "Play Ball" Frist, even, has had enough of the Dems and thinks the time is right to blast 'em. I don't care much for Frist but I think even he is fed up.

Well, IF this Bolton hearing takes place, I think Frist will be happier, BUT hopefully, the shenanigans that the dems are up to today, will convince him to REALLY get tough!

I'd be happy with any kind of smoke coming from Frist's ears.

We might as well just neutralize the Dems now, they aren't interested in cooperation, off with the gloves is what I say. Let's clear Bolton and start in on the judges tomorrow.

Thanks for starting this thread. I'd love to see a new Pope AND a new ambassador to the UN today.

Ditto.

I'm sick of the smoke and mirrors coming from the Dims.
