LIVE SENATE THREAD: C-span 2 - Noon EST; "Suppose the Dems throw a filabuster and NOBODY comes?"
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 get pretty sick of it too, Carolyn. Ticks me off also that the Republican Senators didn't remind viewers that it was Republicans who overwhelmingly voted for the Civil Rights Act, not democrats.

I told a black friend of mine that last year and she didn't believe me. I had to go find the back up and prove it to her and then she never admitted that she even got the information. LOL

bbl

WTH is going on here? I leave for a few hours, casually click on to FR, and *FWOPPPP*, the bottom has fallen out! Is Reid in another losing p*ssing contest with Frist or is this series??

Amazing, isn't it, how dems always manage to get the credit for what Republicans have done for minority rights. Maybe they should teach real history in schools instead of revisionist history.

Guess it depends on who you talk to. According to what they just showed on FOX we have 53 GOP and 3 Dems for Cloiture -- we need 60 and the moonies are working the phones like crazy -- Kerry has provided the phone numbers to them -- and they are working the weak sisters Snow and Collins big-time... also telling the dems to walk out of the STOU...

That 56 votes is to confirm the nominee. Some of the DEM "nay on the nominee" votes will vote for cloture.

Did any of you just hear Major Garetts report on Fox -- Cindy Sheehan called from Venezuela (she is STILL there) and said that unless Feinstein stood for Filibuster she was going to run for Feinstein's senate seat in November... after that call Feinstein changed her vote.

Unless they can blackmail them over the weekend and before 4:30 on Monday -- see my post 648 on what caused Feinstein to change course.

I know she does. And it is a known fact that people on chemo get a thing called chemo brain.

I apologize. I thought you were making a joke, like those at the DUmp did with Laura Inghram. I'm very sorry.

Dont scold me son.

I wasn't scolding you and I am not your son...BTW, I'm a lady.

Frist should have pushed this for cloture yesterday and a vote today (IMO).

BBBBBBut, I thought Frist had an agreement with Dingy Harry? LOL! An "agreement" with a Democrat is a useful as a Deed to the Golden Gate Bridge!

done for the day regarding Alito?

I think somewhere earlier in this thread, it was announced that the debate on this issue would begin again at 10:00 AM on Monday. They will have a cloture vote at 4:30 PM. and the final vote will come at 11:00 AM on Tues. I don't know know what might be going on now.

How many times does Harry have to stick it to Frist before Frist learns never, ever, to trust him and since he is majority leader he should act like one instead of letting the minority leader act like the majority leader??

Change of subject... did you see the new RNC Video being unleashed in Nevada about Harry Reid and The Patriot Act? He is going to come unhinged when he sees it.
