[Howlin]

As requested, a thread to follow the filibuster.

Correct..this is not a filibuster...the GOP hasn't forced the issue yet, because then they would have to invoke cloture, and that sets a precedent that it's somehow OK to filibuster a judicial nomination....

[Mo1]

Yep .. Reid was talking about having to work through the weekend and all of a sudden .. Ups pops Bryd .. FOFL .. to funny

[ken5050]

Did you see my Freepmail?

[mware]

Rush has a caller on right now, says senator Mary L said that she did not support Estrata. The people who ran the commerical of her supporting him during the election got it wrong!!!!

[nicmarlo]

I'd be proud, too; Hatch is doing superbly and
Bennett did very very good last night, too.

[ken5050]

And Kerry decided now to have himself circumsized?....hmmmm...curious..

[marajade]

Give it some time...

[swheats]

I keep saying I hope this is Reid's swan song. He has got to go.

The majority of his constituents are Las Vegas. We need to break that stronghold.

[Mo1]

Nope, Grahm is still in the hospital I believe

Yesterdays article mentioned he was filing his seeking a presidental canidate papers from his hospital bed

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Sen. Ben Nelson (Neb.) and John Breaux. (^:

[mware]

OH NO, IT IS THE GRAND WIZARD!!!!!!

[abner]

On CSpan One the Dems are having a live press conference about this nomination.

Kennedy was just blathering.

[Mo1]

Bryd is speaking NOW!!!

[swheats]

She's a little late in correcting those poor souls, that's not what she meant. Anything for a vote.

[Mo1]

Bryd talking

His long time friend Joe Meadows passed away this weekend

He was his mail clerk from his office

[aristeides]

What is Byrd saying about Joe Meadows (sp)?

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

the "collateral damage" from a filibuster could be very interesting....

Lol! Except that being a victim's a plus in our nutty culture. They elected a dead man to the Senate from Missouri. Twilight Zone was never this strange.

[mware]

HE IS MUMMBLING SOMETHING ABOUT A MAIL CLERK. THIS IS GOING TO BE PAINFUL.

OH LORD, NOW TELLING US HE WAS A FIDDLE PLAYER.

[jra]

Byrd talking about a BLUEGRASS FIDDLE PLAYER???

[ken5050]

White N****R alert!!
