Welcome, all you Freepers, to the continuing C-span soap operas about judicial nominations. "The Guiding SEARCHLIGHT, " "As the SENATE Turns, "One NOMINATION to Live" "GERIATRIC Hospital" (for all you Byrd and Lautenberg fans out there). Follow along with us, as the Dems raise the level of histrionics, bloviation, pontification, and all around bad acting to new highs, er, lows...

I have been busy all day, but I recorded the entire session on DVR.. i plan to take some time to zip through it shortly... any speeches in particular that were of particular intrest?

[dts32041]

You mean the pubbies have rolled into little fecal balls and the demo rats aren't playing with them like the scarabs they are?

[davidosborne]

I like the idea of making them debate ONE nomination for several days... a REAL filibuster..... then hit the "nuke" button, when the dems get tired of spewing their rhetoric...

[MJY1288]

It is amazing that the the Senate Republicans haven't caved so far. If they do, it will be Lindsey Graham that caves in first

Can't say much for the speeches, but the graphics were very nice. --- Check out Sam Brownback's speech, he pretty much told it like it is.

[davidosborne]

Digital Video Recorder, better known as TIVO, until Cable companies started providing them for free or at least very cheap rent.
