Sounds to me like Reid doesn't want the PUBLIC to see this debate......

Not only does Reid not have the votes, surely some pubbie is going to point out that they've been FILIBUSTERING these very judges they now say they'll let through. Shows their case is nothing but hot air.

Right. I'm sure they were planning the defense for these tactics while Boxer, Feingold, et al were bloviating yesterday afternoon for two straight hours.

Leahy up now too making offers. It's too late for this stuff boys.

Notice how mild and cooperative they are when they know that Fox, CNN, et al are carrying this live.

Frist is trying to allow the minority it's right to "advise and consent" with the 100 hours before the voting on the nominees that is required by the Constitution. The demoncrats have painted themselves into a corner on this, and it's will come back to bite them in their arses.

Be patient, Guennie... this is going to take more time than most here are expecting. Go buy a lot of popcorn and a couple cases of beer - or scotch.

Next week is certainly a probability I wouldn't dismiss.

NOW Reid wants to talk about it like during the impeachment of Clinton---but he stopped himself before he said the word Clinton, changed it to "the president of the United States"--dang, he still can't admit that Clinton was impeached...

He wants a MEETING---SAY NO FRIST

Norm Coleman is not a fool; he let him rant for a reason

Norm is not a fool, but he should watch a little more of the CSPAN coverage of the House of Commons to see what he was in for....

Derb explains...

Galloway came up through the UK parliamentary system, though, where you have to be fierce and clever in debate, and need to be able to think fast on your feet. The US Senate is full of pompous bores, stuffed up to the nose holes with a conviction of their own terrific importance, whose idea of debate is to drone their way through a speech some minimum-wage staffer has written up for them. This was like watching an alley mongrel let loose in a room full of pampered, overfed lap dogs. ....
