Zuben, in case you weren't around for the beginning of the thread (big up Ken5050), we are counting the number of times move on is used.I hope you guys didn't decide to make a drinking game out of it. A lot of good Freepers could end up in the ER getting their stomachs pumped out.

The lightening struck, the doors locked
The Senate stood, gazed and shocked,
And Providence mocked.

I respect your opinion, but I stand by my statement. I am not suggesting an explicit rewarding of such behavior, but rather an implicit (but powerful) one.

Just a bit late; the roll started before this hit and well after the window closed.

Does anyone know what Circuit the other Judicial nominees will go if confirmed?
I am just wondering if any of the three in the "compromise" will go to the Sixth or the Ninth.

Tell us when a RAT votes AYE .. The RATs have a nasty habit of changing their votes after casting it. However, Sheets just weighed in with an "Aye".

Is this the actual vote or is it the cloture vote to end discussion and move to a full vote?
