C-span 2

Posted on 01/27/2006 8:38:03 AM PST by 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....

I have to agree...I think we all knew Harry was up to something yesterday...remember how complacent he was?....they knew all the time what the plan was.....I just hope that Frist did too...but I doubt it...

If they filibuster, Frist will pull the trigger; when the dust settles, Bush could nominate Karl Rove and there wouldn't be a damn thing the Democrats could do about it.

Exactly .. which makes this pr stunt none sense

Except to make their base happy .. I don't get the point of all these announcements

You're absolutely right. My gut feeling is Kerry called him from Davos and said to placate Frist until he could get back and twist arms...

Something none of us have commented on is by taking the lead on this Fillibuster and getting Feinstein, Clinton, Durbin, and others to fall in line he is cementing his position as the exaulted leader of the Dem Party and his place as the candidate for '08 -- which he said this week he IS running in '08.

NO, I meant Bush nominating Karl Rove for the next Supreme opening.

We'd have to swing open the doors of every ER in the country because the RATS would be dropping from cardiac arrest.

I think the people coming out for the filibuster (Kerry, Clinton, Dodd, etc.) are doing so to appease their hard left base.

It doesn't need to make sense to us; that's why we're us and they're them.

Beware of people on OUR SIDE pushing this tripe.

~LOL~ Kerry or Gore would make us all yearn for the good ole days of Jimmy Carter...

BTW Fox is discussing the Al Gore/Occidental thing right now.

I felt that way last week, Carolyn. I really felt depressed -- like it was the end of civilization. Our culture is getting so crass and ugly; where will it end?

What do you make of the al-Queda #2 audio tape being as much as two years old? Suppose we really got him?
