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..

Bush in the White House, Bolton in the UN, Ratzinger in the Vatican.

The Left is now discovering what Hell is.

Frist has just recessed the Senate until 4:15 today--Babs Boxer objected---

He said it again--Boxer asked for absence of quorum!

I KNEW THE DAMN DEMS WOULD PLAY THIS GAME!

The demons know that the media will paint them in the most favorable light and condemn all things republican.

They have nothing to lose, so they think.

Talk radio and the pajama people will be making sure that everyone learns of their obstruction.

I don't like Bolton.

So, for the benefit of Dem lurkers I give this advice to rouse up the people to your side:

Stick with your strategy exposing the fact that Bolton had arguments. Emphasize that Bolton is contrary and will not appreciate our "allies" in the UN enough. Specifically mention France and Germany. Mention France a lot, and that our ally France disapproves of Bolton. Don't be shy.

I don't think Obams, or Durbin, are there today. They missed both votes today.

More like a good foretaste of hell.

Life is good.

OOPSY, Frist has just called for the Sargent at Arms to go and gather Senators in order to have a quorum---

They are voting on it right now---

I have never seen this---are we having fun yet?

Shermy--what do YOU have against Bolton?

You know...when the nuclear option is invoked..these judges will be confirmed with votes in the high 50's..even some will get 60..as the 6 Dems in Red states up in 2006 will vote for most of them. It will therefore be a hard argumen for the Dems to make that the minority had a right to block votes on them..They've painted themselves into a bigger corner..

C-span musta updated it, it was 2:15 this morning. It'll probably be 2:45.

I'm confused. What is going on? Are they voting for Bolton or for a Quorom?
