LIVE SENATE THREAD: C-span 2 - Noon EST; "Suppose the Dems throw a filabuster and NOBODY comes?"

C-span 2

[ken5050]

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....

"But the real line in the sand for the Democrats is going to be when President Bush appoints an outstanding conservative like Janice Brown, to replace the liberal Ginsberg. I think they know it's inevitable and imminent, and the last thing they want to have to fight on in an election year."

Most excellent observation. In fact, I'm going to use that at the Pub later today.

[TomGuy]

Kerry yielded the floor....


before he didn't.

[Dad yer funny]

... STUTIFYING

[OXENinFLA]

......."Swimming up stream".........

Like to Cambodia on Christmas?

[AliVeritas]

No environmental slandering? Guess not after that one day flight.

[tsmith130]

Now he is quoting a lawyer from BERKLEY, and saying Alito will allow police to shoot unarmed 15-year-olds.

I have no idea what he is saying...I have him on mute. And just to be sure, I put some duct tape over my TV too.

All the more reasons the Repubs should launch the nukes this time around!

[Peach]

Can't even be a hero on an empty floor of the Senate.

[Lovergirl]

What did that mean?

[Miss Marple]

What was that hand signal at the end when he was asking where Senator Isaacson is?

[STARWISE]

"I know this is flying against the political punditry of Washington ............"

"I think Prof. Liu stated it best --........ Judge Alito envisions an America where .........the FBI may install a camera where you sleep..." !!!!!???? WHAT?? Dear Lord .. he's just splashed a 4-egg omellette on his face .. but he can always add ketchup ..

Fumbling .. walks away .. clerk will read the roll: Mr. Akaka (cracks me up every time)

[Txsleuth]

hehe...that was kind of silly of me wasn't it....

[Bahbah]

The dems would go into instant meltdown :)

[Burlem]

Ken, so dummy, (me) leaves the computer go to the other room to watch C-Span2 and Kerry is talking. EWWWWWWWW, thanks. lol

[Peach]

It's mind boggling he came within 3M votes of the presidency; he makes so little sense that I can't even find stuff to condemn what he's saying usually.

[newnhdad]

he promised more talking on Monday, before the cloture vote.

[hipaatwo]

He didn't say the F word did he.

[Palladin]

Somebody, please...SHUT...HIM...UP!!!

[Peach]

I don't know. I thought he was going to say "For those reasons and others, I recommend a filibuster".

He's going to talk more on Monday? Agh

[E.C.I.]

"So Mr. President this is why we need to ...
F...
really look at what we are doing here"

How anticlimactic was that !! HA-HA
