Schumer (D-NY) on C-SPAN2 NOW! (The Filibuster Against Estrada Has Begun)

CSPAN2 ^

[Recovering_Democrat]

Charles Schumer is rambling idiocy now about how ideology MUST be used in determining judges. Schumer laughably calls himself a moderate.

[11th_VA]

Teddy opens his remarks by saying how unfair the personal attacks were to Bender, now he's making ad hominen attacks to Estrada.

[chnsmok]

Sheez, would somebody get the hook...

[Mo1]

So this thing can go on for a while huh??? .. LOL

[Keith]

Hopefully Hatch will get another shot.

I know Teddy did, that's why he's even pinker than he was before...hehe.

[Mo1]

You hear his voice .. it's giving out .. He'll never make it .. FOFL

[NormsRevenge]

Any bets it's shorter then the last FReepathon? ;-)

[TheBigB]

Well, this can't go on much longer...there's been a filibuster for almost an hour now. :) This doesn't make sense...THIS is a filibuster? I thought ya hadda keep talking and talking. Why doesn't the Presiding Senator simply refuse to recognize any Dems on the floor? Could he/she do that?

[Kathleen]

We'll have no problems sleeping tonight with this on as background noise.

[justshe]

ROFL!

[hoosiermama]

If we keep the dems busy filabusting, maybe we could go ahead a bomb Iraq. It could be over with by the time they are finished. (Also will be a good excuse for them to throw in the towel)

[CA Conservative]

They are not filibustering yet. You will know when they are filibustering when the Dems refuse to yield the floor to anyone other than another Dem.

[Mo1]

FOFL ...

[Smogger]

Tips for watching the filibuster:

While your listening to Ed blather on if your using the stand alone Real Player (im using Basic 8) you can watch some pleasent visualizations by hitting the visualization button in the lower left hand corner of your screen. Then you can use the arrow buttons in the lower left of you picture to cycle through the visualizations. I prefer Annabelle the Sheep. She rocks back and forth as Kennedy rambles.

Of course I wouldn't reccommend listening entirely to Kennedy either. So I am listening to some new gangster rap on Winamp at the same time. (yeah.. yeah.. I know it'll rot your brain, but it works for me).

[NormsRevenge]

I got to remember that line.. ;-p

[Mo1]

They are not filibustering yet. You will know when they are filibustering when the Dems refuse to yield the floor to anyone other than another Dem.

Is that how it's done

This is my first filibuster .. I didn't know

[chnsmok]

Why thank you! That should help.

[CyberAnt]

Oh, we know why they are filibustering Estrada:

During the 2000 election, Estrada presented a legal paper to the USSC in Bush v. Gore.

You got it ... this whole thing with Estrada is RETRIBUTION for the 2000 election.

How petty and childish is that ...??

[ken5050]

LOL!!!

[chnsmok]

That fire visualization would have been great for Hatch's last speech.

[Timeout]

Get this!

I did a search on Filibuster and one of the results was for People for the American Way...lefties opposed to Estrada. They had a button you could mash to send a fax to your senators. I figured I'd use their dime to send my Senators a favorable comment on Estrada, so I mashed the button. There was a list of states for one to select from....except my state (Alabama) isn't listed!

LOL! We have two GOP senators, so Alabama doesn't even exist in their orbit!
