The Senate meets at noon today, again in Executive Session, for the 3rd day of debate on the nomination of Samuel Alito to SCOTUS. Not sure, what, if anything, will happen today..Will there be a filabuster?..will anyone show up..might be work while checking out the beginning of the session, to get the lay of the land....

speaking of charts, not ONE Dem has used them in the debate so far..

I believe Kennedy did although he had trouble reading them.

"No, I don't think so. He's discussing stare decisis."

Maybe the moonbats can decode them to mean "I'll Filibuster if you give me more money".

My thoughts exactly.

Pretty much sums up Kerry.

Now, he is going to call for a filibuster. He is "flying against official wisdom." How brave! How principled! How deserving of the 2008 nomination!

Since George Allen...used the "make my day" line, when talking about the possibility of a filibuster...HE should come next
