LIVE THREAD: Senate Democrats fake filibuster of Samuel Alito - C-span 2 10:00am EST
C-span

Posted on 01/30/2006 5:57:36 AM PST by ken5050

Good Monday morning, fellow Freeper political junkies. One of the more ridiculous episodes of political theater is about to play itself out on the Senate floor, as the John Kerry-led democrats mount an exercise in political futility which will further expose their total irrelevance..So join us today, or drop in on occasion, for the festivities...

I guess, that the Reps think that they need the numbers to maintain majority status. Chaffe stated earlier in the year that his voting record was going to remain moderate (liberal) because he was facing a tough challenger in the November election.

That is the timing schedule agreed to by unanimous consent Thurs.:


EXECUTIVE SESSION -- (Senate - January 26, 2006)

[Page: S197]

CLOTURE MOTION

Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I send a cloture motion to the desk at this point.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The cloture motion having been presented under rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion.

The bill clerk read as follows:

Cloture Motion

We the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, do hereby move to bring to a close debate on the nomination of Samuel A. Alito, Jr., of New Jersey to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Bill Frist, Elizabeth Dole, Michael B. Enzi, Jim DeMint, Wayne Allard, Kit Bond, John Ensign, Arlen Specter, Rick Santorum, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Pete Domenici, Judd Gregg, Lisa Murkowski, Norm Coleman, George Allen, Mitch McConnell.

Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the vote on cloture occur at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, January 30, with the mandatory quorum waived. I further ask consent that if cloture is invoked, notwithstanding the provisions of rule XXII, the Senate proceed to a vote on the confirmation of the nomination at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, January 31. Finally, I ask unanimous consent that all debate time on Tuesday prior to 11 a.m. be equally divided between the two leaders or their designees, and that cloture vote may be vitiated by the agreement of the two leaders.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?

Without objection, it is so ordered.

She is doing the saga of the 10 year old girl strip search which did not go down the way the demos tell it. Why haven't any of the Repubs corrected the story?
