Biden: We don't have to go back to 1920, do we?
As Stalin said, this struggle is about minority interests,
and the GOP is the minority, or am I not getting something here?

Mr. CORNYN. Mr. President, on Monday, the Senate will resume consideration of the nomination of Priscilla Owen to serve as a circuit judge on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Monday will be the fourth consecutive day the Senate considers the Owen nomination.
Over the past 3 days, a number of Members, on both sides of the aisle, have come to the floor to speak on the nomination. We have conducted over 25 hours of debate, and we will continue on Monday. Moments ago, we filed a cloture motion on the nomination, and that will ripen on Tuesday of next week.
On behalf of the majority leader, I remind my colleagues the leader has announced our next rollcall vote will occur Monday afternoon at 5:30. That vote will be on a motion to instruct the Sergeant at Arms to request Senators' attendance. Senator Frist will have more to say about next week's session on Monday.
hey BIden... we hold the senate and the house.... deal with it buddy.
Will be in DC next week and have tickets for the Nats/Braves game on Monday.
I would rather list to the guy that was talking about the worm, the cabbage , and the turnip truck....
*I think this rant was written by MoveON.org. *
I agree!! Soros and MoveOn.org owns the Demo Party, imo.
Talk about a radical bunch of Socialist!!
it will get nasty not doubt
Then again maybe we wont have to comprimise.
Joe cites the AEI website. AEI doesn't take stands on issues. It's a consortium of scholars, both liberal and conservative. There are currently two AEI people on record against the filibuster. One says that both the filibuster and the const. option are wrong.
I'd say Joe got caught being intellectually dishonest again, to put it mildly.
Joe Biden...civil rights leader!
LOL... yeah me too
It should be interesting to see the Republican response to Biden's over the top "the sky is falling" speech.
3 more minutes then he gets the hook
Now he is claiming that every person in his state voted for him. He said it!! He said the Democrat Senators had the votes of 160 million americans.
If it didn't play into their hands, I would like to see the republicans add up all the votes received by every senator, to prove that the republican senators got more total votes than the democrat senators.
Oh no, now "He Gets It" again.
He came to fight a slave state?
Senator Biden. Your turnip truck is ready.
BREAK THE RULES TO CHANGE THE RULES ALERT! Will he get all of the talking points in or now...waiting with great anticipation.
heading for a MELTDOWN!
Sorry Biden... you can change the rules by a simple majority vote.
f we cannot change the Senate rules by a majority vote, than what are we arguing about? Evidently we can.
OMG, it is a Lie! A lie about the rule!
You can't change the rules with a majority vote
Is there ANY issue in which the Dims dont bring up slavery and civil rights.
