Leaky - Aye.
Rush said on the agreement Art. II Section B.
RINOs accepted Sheets agreement proposal, so Bush has to go down. No nuke option for a year and a half. But there are loopholes.
LOL........we posted at the exact same time.
Ooops WRONG Jefford jumped again to a NO.One other one whose name I didn't catch. Total no's so far = 2.
Leaky AYE!
Yeah, Hayworth, sorry.
And it does tip the power in at least one and possibly two districts.
We haven't had a majority in any district for as long as I can remember.
Shocker ...
This vote is to end the filibuster on Owen.
The dems are mostly voting aye because they can read the writing on the wall, at least on this judge.
They all basically agreed to invoke cloture on Owens. They're voting "aye" to do so.
You have your finger on the trouble: All the 'Craps have to do is hang tough as opposing everything Bush and/or the Republicans want, and be confident they will be able to peel the one or two RINO flakes needed to frustrate us.
Lugard... Aye
Levin... No
Smith... Aye
Cochran... Aye
Bingaman ... Aye
Lehey... Aye
Lieberman... Aye
RULE XXII
PRECEDENCE OF MOTIONS1. When a question is pending, no motion shall be received but
To adjourn.
To adjourn to a day certain, or that when the Senate adjourn it shall be to a day certain.
To take a recess.
To proceed to the consideration of executive business.
To lay on the table.
To postpone indefinitely.
To postpone to a day certain.
To commit.
To amend.Which several motions shall have precedence as they stand arranged; and the motions relating to adjournment, to take a recess, to proceed to the consideration of executive business, to lay on the table, shall be decided without debate.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of rule II or rule IV or any other rule of the Senate, at any time a motion signed by sixteen Senators, to bring to a close the debate upon any measure, motion, other matter pending before the Senate, or the unfinished business, is presented to the Senate, the Presiding Officer, or clerk at the direction of the Presiding Officer, shall at once state the motion to the Senate, and one hour after the Senate meets on the following calendar day but one, he shall lay the motion before the Senate and direct that the clerk call the roll, and upon the ascertainment that a quorum is present, the Presiding Officer shall, without debate, submit to the Senate by a yea-and-nay vote the question:
"Is it the sense of the Senate that the debate shall be brought to a close?" And if that question shall be decided in the affirmative by three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn -- except on a measure or motion to amend the Senate rules, in which case the necessary affirmative vote shall be two-thirds of the Senators present and voting -- then said measure, motion, or other matter pending before the Senate, or the unfinished business, shall be the unfinished business to the exclusion of all other business until disposed of.
Thereafter no Senator shall be entitled to speak in all more than one hour on the measure, motion, or other matter pending before the Senate, or the unfinished business, the amendments thereto, and motions affecting the same, and it shall be the duty of the Presiding Officer to keep the time of each Senator who speaks. Except by unanimous consent, no amendment shall be proposed after the vote to bring the debate to a close, unless it had been submitted in writing to the Journal Clerk by 1 o'clock p.m. on the day following the filing of the cloture motion if an amendment in the first degree, and unless it had been so submitted at least one hour prior to the beginning of the cloture vote if an amendment in the second degree. No dilatory motion, or dilatory amendment, or amendment not germane shall be in order. Points of order, including questions of relevancy, and appeals from the decision of the Presiding Officer, shall be decided without debate.
After no more than thirty hours of consideration of the measure, motion, or other matter on which cloture has been invoked, the Senate shall proceed, without any further debate on any question, to vote on the final disposition thereof to the exclusion of all amendments not then actually pending before the Senate at that time and to the exclusion of all motions, except a motion to table, or to reconsider and one quorum call on demand to establish the presence of a quorum (and motions required to establish a quorum) immediately before the final vote begins. The thirty hours may be increased by the adoption of a motion, decided without debate, by a three-fifths affirmative vote of the Senators duly chosen and sworn, and any such time thus agreed upon shall be equally divided between and controlled by the Majority and Minority Leaders or their designees. However, only one motion to extend time, specified above, may be made in any one calendar day.
What's surprising is that Hitlery voted to end cloture. Guess Reid is on his way out as Senate "Minority" Leader.
Thank you so much.
So what was yeaterday and last night all about? Blustering?
I'm listening to the vote.
I guess I wouldn't, but would it apply to a female? Like Susan Heywood?
That's what I hear too.
Sheets HAS to vote yea, it was in the agreement he signed onto yesterday.
If we get cloture we don't need the nuclear option until they refuse cloture next time.
Jabba The Drunk - Aye.
