Live Filibuster Thread Tuesday

[AliVeritas]

FReepers be prepared for surprises today.

[Txsleuth]

I heard on Laura Ingraham's show this morning that NARAL put out a statement that said that any nomination from now on, especially for the SCOTUS will have to agree not to mess with ROE V. WADE....during confirmation hearings!

[Jrabbit]

He was not amused, that's for sure. All conservative senators should be furious.

arghhhhhhhhhh....the swimmer!

[MamaLucci]

Yep.........nothing more dangerous than pi$$ed off, charging elephants, LOL!

[defconw]

....don't feel like the Lone Ranger...sometimes it seems like there's two sessions of the Senate going on at the same time....


I am glad I am not the only one whose head is spinning! Three-Sheets up to bat! LOL is it to early for cocktails?

[AliVeritas]

You and me too Fudd.
Nice to see you again.
We're in for a ride.
Teddy hasn't had his drink yet...

[Pete]

If Frist goes forward with the vote and effectively disables the spineless seven, he will be an absolute HERO among conservative Republicans.

[Not A Snowbird]

I'm half tempted to move to Arizona just so I can vote against McCain.

[steveegg]

FYI, Tony Snow says the RINOS agreed to throw a number (5 or 6 additional) nominees under the bus.

Why am I not surprised?

[Cboldt]

I hope they have the cloture at noon, and Frist immediately calls for vote on Owen, then after that vote, call for cloture on Brown, which would mean that she would get voted for sure by the end of the week.

If by the rules, 30 hours of debate after the cloture vote passes. Unanimous consent can take that anywhere. Reid even offered to give unanimous consent to take the vote on Owen, without having a cloture vote.

I heard them say that Sen.Biden has some things to say about Boltons nomination--IOW, he is trying to keep his nomination from coming to the floor.

Bolton is on the Senate's Executive Calendar - Frist controls when it comes to the floor.

[NonValueAdded]

Frist might think he is running for President but he has no chance in h-e-double-hockey-sticks of getting the nomination. What does he think makes him presidential, his stellar leadership in the Senate? Yeah, it is a multi-level chess game but the pubs are playing checkers.

[Sacajaweau]

Yea, right...That's how the system works. Put your vote in before the case starts in the Court.

[easonc52]

Yup..... Tony Snow just said,, this thing is getting good now.... time to pass the popcorn.....

Enough for all...

[AliVeritas]

Teddy's using spitballs, he wishes he had a gun.
Oh now he wants to get on with the country's business.
LOLOLOL
Teddy is fuming.

[Mo1]

Fat Teddy doesn't want to talk about the filibuster either

says it is off the table

[nutmeg]

It's hard to be a revolutionary if you're only armed with a hybrid hatchback, a soccer ball, and Save the Whales pin.

LOL! ;-D

[TheBigB]

It's hard to be a revolutionary if you're only armed with a hybrid hatchback, a soccer ball, and Save the Whales pin.

Definite tagline material. :o)

[roses of sharon]

His career ended when he called us extremists in his campaign for pres, he did it again this morning.

He has made a deal with the traitors and anti-american Senators who have made Bush's, our soldiers, and the US efforts in Iraq, hell for the last 2 years.

McCain and his cohorts shook hands last nite with those who work to have the US lose in Iraq.

Unforgivable.

[AliVeritas]

Exactly...now give my brain back.

[Cboldt]

Senate Republicans might have killed 2 birds with one stone here: The Rat Birds and the RINO Birds. In Texas, we call this "calf rope".

The only question is "when is it gonna cinch up?"

[Shortwave]

Should Teddy really use a reference to "water?"
