Bolton fails to get the 60 votes to invoke cloture. Dem filbuster is on.
Thank you. Someone had to say it.
oops Brown and Pryor.. Instead we now have the dem from Oregon and Sununu up next.
I tried to be nice about this. Now screw them.
I'm tho mad I could thpit! They're all a bunch of jerkth.
Get rid of Frist, McCain & Graham - those assholes could not lead children out of a burning building...put Mitch McConnell in ...he has spine...
And now they will all run out of Washington like their hair is on fire. There must be something big in those Bolton files. Especially since this vote is still going to be 56-42.
Sorry, but he can use the constitutional option anytime he wants especially on non judicial nominees. The agreement, which frist didn't agree to by the way, only applies to Judicial nominees, frist is free to call a vote on the rules anytime he wants as far as Bolton goes, actually he can do it on any nominee, including judges. The agreement is worthless having only been signed by 14 senators, none of them the republican senate leaders.
McCain is off...of that there's no doubt.
A closure vote ends a filibuster. An Ace is an Ace and a spade is a spade.
"I don't even want to hear anymore. Specter's a problem yet don't I recall the great uproar to remove him from the judiciary committee?"
Yep, we voiced our opposition to this but after the election we were ASSURED that Specter would be reigned in.
As usual, the GOP got 'duped'.
He cannot 'push the button'. The RINO vote is too large. No, his only hope is to make such treachery so painful to the RINO that they never, ever do this sort of crap again.
He should remove ALL the RINOs from all important senate committees and send them to meaningless ones.
Let 'em go home,give 'em hell!
Agreed. The Rats need to be put in their place.
"I am sooooo mad that I am going to vote for Hillary next time."
OK, Fishtalk. Come on down from the ledge....that's it....nice and easy now....You don't really want to jump...tomorrow is another day....Think about your family for Gods sake!!!....There you go...Feel better now? :>)
Yep!
Push the button, FRANK!
You tell em!!
But, but, but, what would happen to the collegiality of the Senate? What would happen to comity then?
the most constructive post on this thread...it is time to get organized and give the weak-spined rinos a nuclear suppository while they are home "visiting with their constituents" over the holidays...
To be fair, not everyone reads the entire thread....so some of this may be people only reading the early posts and replying to those. On the other hand, one can never be sure!
