I don't know what it is but whenever I see Carville I just start looking for a que-stick.

And a cube of chalk.

[Mister Baredog]

George Allen is the next President of the United States.

I could live with that. As long as it's NOT the Hildebeast, McCaniac, or "kinda dumb" Hagel.

[rodguy911]

Yeah really.
Mary doing a pretty good job of pointing out how the rats constantly try and subvert democracy by taking their issues to the judiciary.

Gotta go. Taking the wife to Little Palm Island for brunch. Gotta catch the boat. This was fun.

[rodguy911]

Rack em' I got the solids you take the stripes.

[Mister Baredog]

Then one Republican on the committee should do a "Jeffords" for about 15 minutes and then jump back.

Interesting idea!!!!!

[Cboldt]

Is that really true? Is there any source for that claim? I would think that parlimentary procedures would allow a vote once a quorum was reached.

If there is, it's in Senate Rules. I'm making a cursory review of them now.

Thanks. Jackbill's post at #133 provides some good info as well.

[kabar]

I found this to be interesting.

"4. Whenever upon such roll call it shall be ascertained that a quorum is not present, a majority of the Senators present may direct the Sergeant at Arms to request, and, when necessary, to compel the attendance of the absent Senators, which order shall be determined without debate; and pending its execution, and until a quorum shall be present, no debate nor motion, except to adjourn, or to recess pursuant to a previous order entered by unanimous consent, shall be in order."

[international american]

I hereby withdraw my suggestion. They would kick his a$$.
How about a garbage collector? Nah, he would dent everyones cans. Maybe he IS useless??

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

And now a word from our Sponsors of Free Speech Click on a service emblem to send an online

[COBOL2Java]

All I can think of is 1) he gets paid to get beat up, and 2) he gets to show his ability of parroting Democrat talking points from memory.

Only one minor point, and that is, Juan never is able to memorize anything. He always reads from stacks and stacks of printouts.

a majority of the Senators present may direct the Sergeant at Arms to request, and, when necessary, to compel the attendance of the absent Senators

Now that would be worth seeing. I hope they are really "gentle" with Joe Biden.

[kabar]

LOL Yeah, gag him and Frog march him in.

[Chi-townChief]

Unbelieveably, I don't think Juan said anything stupid.

[Morgan in Denver]

I thought Juan kept the paperwork close as a proof source for his obscure positions. At least, I've seen him wave some of it when responding to being corrected in the past. And, since I've seen him often losing his cool in responses, when he repeated his lines without paperwork props, my assumption was he could actually repeat his lines properly. If I'm wrong, I'll gladly return the ribbon. Oops.... FOX is coming on here, finally. It's time to see the things I've been reading here.

[jackbill]

That rule is for the full Senate. The relevant rules are those that I posted in #133, i.e. for the Foreign Relations committee.

This morning, when Lugar was asked if there would be a vote on Thursday, said that there were any number of parliamentarian gimmicks that could keep it from happening. He didn't mention what they were.

The rule that you mentioned is the one that would surely be exercised if there was a true filibuster of judicial nominees on the floor of the Senate.

[advance_copy]

Or John Kerry, he's probably pretty good at "frog" marching.

[mathluv]

and Juan still thinks that he is right!

[Truth29]

"...Little Palm Island for brunch."

Envy attack. This is a much better thing to do on Sunday than watch the Sunday talk shows or TCM as a refuge.

[Fishtalk]

Well so far today I have not heard any comments or questions about Dingy Harry's comment about Bush being a loser. You'd think they'd mention it, huh?
