Collins Will Vote For Alito [Ed Whelan 01/26 05:32 PM]
Senator Susan Collins of Maine has announced her intention to vote for Alito.
Yee Haw!!!!
THANK YOU for posting that!
I have been watching that list.
Sheets too, huh?
Well, he's up for reelection in a RED state.
What an interesting day this has been.
Snowe is going to go on record here shortly, because she's supposed to speak before the end of this hour.
So much is happening it is hard to follow.
A pending cloture motion doesn't indicate the presence of filibuster, a cloture motion can be used to facilitate time management. What folks have been referring to as filibuster is when the cloture motion is rejected, which happens if fewer than 60 vote in favor of it.
The status up a rejected cloture motion is that the matter before the Senate is still pending, the nomination, in this case, is still "alive." Debate goes on, but taking the vote on the nominee is put off. Taking the vote is put off until either there is unanimous consent to proceed to the vote, or a cloture motion passes.

Must be there; if we are really lucky, he'll make as big a fool out of himself as Jordan Eason did a couple of years ago.
Kerry... filibuster... yeah, right !!! HA-HA
Those DUmmies still buy the same old crap. They just WANT to believe so badly. It's kinda sad... (if it wasn't so freaking funny)
I know. But still very interesting.
For the record, I don't worship anyone, friend. Believe me, the Republicans didn't get where they are by debating who, what, when and where. The base just gets in line. Yeah, they're a party filled with dummies who just do what they're told
This is why Alito is the nominee, instead of Miers? Their logic astounds...
Bah...if you are out there...did you get a chance to watch Hairball yet???
My granddaughter is here...so I didn't see his early show...for HIS reaction to Bush's presser or this vote.
I did see where someone on the presser thread commented that Fat Timmy was being his usual "bash Bush" self after the presser was over...
GOOD FOR FRIST!
I agree and I am learning much about this process.
Well, there's our answer............LOL.
What a couple of fools they are.
Thanks for letting me know. I may actually break a rule and watch it on a "need to know what the enemy is spewing" whim.
...which is also a prediction that my wife made. She's a very insightful woman.
Has it been really exciting?
