Live Filibuster Thread Tuesday

CSPAN ^ | May 24, 2005 | AliVeritas

[AliVeritas]

FReepers be prepared for surprises today.

[defconw]

Biden AYe
Dayton no

There seems to be a putsch in the 'RAT ranks. That may (or more likely may not) be the only good thing about this.
Who do you think it is?

[steveegg]

So what was yeaterday and last night all about? Blustering?

Yes.

[cyncooper]

So what was yeaterday and last night all about? Blustering?

The deal expressly had the 7 dem signatories agreeing to invoke cloture on the three judges which right then signalled the end of the filibuster for their nominations.

[LisaFab]

Right. Look guys, this is what we wanted. IF Frist gets votes on all seven nominees--whether they are approved or not--then we win without going nuclear.

[Maigrey]

Dayton... No
Thune... aye
Dole...aye
Lautenburg...no
Acaca aye
Warner...aye

[El Gato]

We are about to tip the balance of power in the appellate judiciary in our favor for the first time in decades. That's plenty of upside, as far as I'm concerned

Three judges are going to do that? Assuming we get the three. If the dirty 7 vote no on confirmation, we don't even get that.

[johnny7]

Rush is telling you

“Yes... what you just experienced was anal... by 7 RINO's”

[hispanarepublicana]

That's why Leahy or whoever asked "How many votes does it take to invoke cloture?" Guys like Kerry want to be able to vote "no" on principle, but the Rats DON'T want cloture to fail, 'cause they know we'll go nukular.

[processing please hold]

The dems are mostly voting aye because they can read the writing on the wall, at least on this judge.

So the Republicans are the majority again? :-)

[Maigrey]

GRaham...aye
Bond...aye
Nelson(FL)...aye
Salazar...aye

[steveegg]

Who do you think it is?

Hitlery. She needs more "bona-fides" than one term in the Senate, and Senate "Minority" Leader would fill that quite nicely.

[mhking]

Corzine - NO.

[cyncooper]

Corzine-no

[Maigrey]

Corzine... No
Lott...aye

[Cboldt]

They aren't reneging on this one. They do not want to play with the Constitutional Nuclear Byrd football today.

[You Dirty Rats]

The "no" votes are a good guide to which of the 'Rats are the moonbats. Cantwell, Dayton, Lautencadaver, JJ Jeffords ...

[NonValueAdded]

Then I guess we'll have to wait and see. Unless more than one RINO repudiates the MOU, it cannot work

[Mo1]

That's why Leahy or whoever asked "How many votes does it take to invoke cloture?"

It was Levin that asked

[onyx]

OK, I'm late, but here now. Have I missed anything awful?

[defconw]

Salazar Aye
Biden Aye
Thomas Aye
Corzine No
Ensign Aye
Lott Aye
Inhofe Aye
Collins aye
Obama Aye

Dewine Aye
Talent aye
