LIVE SENATE THREAD: C-Span 2 9:30am EST "The Confirmation vote for Priscilla Owen"

C-Span 2

[ken5050]

Good morning all. Senate convenes at 9:30 am this morning, to vote on the nomination of Priscilla Owen. I've started the thread early, as I have to leave for a few hours, but also to give us a place to start commenting early on the events of yesterday....

SINator hillary! - NO

Hillary, the great feminist, stepping on other women.

[clintonh8r]

no

[steveegg]

Ya think Voinovich realized the error of his ways?

No. Methinks he needs a primary lesson.

[Robert A Cook PE]

I have 55 yes so far....until the dims start changing the vote

Well then, according to the democrat rules on votes and recounts in elections....

Frist MUST immediately stop counting votes and declare the election process over!

I get such a kick out of seeing Hillary in her prime [CSPAN camera] place in front of the desks when an important vote is being taken. It reminds me of the "power" people in elementary and high school who "ruled," and everyone else knew who "the spot" belonged to.

Kerry is trying to get in the picture, but has nothing to say that can keep him there. The men who ally with Hillary are just pathetic, just like the hangers-on in school cliques.

Did KKK Byrd vote AYE

Yes. And probably still carrying his copy of "The Constitution for Dummies"

[ken5050]

I think so..I hope so..

[katieanna]

Now, I am surprised by Nelson of Nebraska. What's his game?

[Marysecretary]

Yes, we do. Whenever she opens up her big yap, she's usually in deep doo. We know her too well here. A doo-nothing senator for NYS.

[Coop]

Ya think Voinovich realized the error of his ways?

Voiny's problem is with Bolton, not Owen.

[STARWISE]

Thanks ;)

[Mo1]

Yep .. this coming from a Senator who couldn't bother showing up for the committee hearings and meetings

[NautiNurse]

Sheets was an Aye! But he could change it!

Rats--the party of

[cyncooper]

Why is Mary Landrieu the only D voting aye?

Byrd voted aye, too.

[defconw]

Did anyone hear Graham?

[mhking]

Whenever she opens up her big yap, she's usually in deep doo. We know her too well here. A doo-nothing senator for NYS.

Palpatine has bigger fish to fry than the Senate...

Louisiana is in the Circuit that Owen is being appointed to.

[mombonn]

Fascinating watching the groups of senators talking. kerry is being disregarded as an out-of-place schoolboy.

HA, he just picked up his marbles and left.

[steveegg]

Great thought, but there's one problem; the 55 isn't on the RAT side of the vote.
