When are they going to cover the Estrada filibuster? I'm tuned to C-SPAN2 radio. Thanks.

I am not sure -- I turned to CSPAN 2 and it sounds like morning speeches not filibuster -- will see as time goes by if they have started a filibuster if only RATs keep talking about nonsense. Corzine always says nothing so it is hard to tell! All he is talking about is the budget!

During a filibuster they can say anything as long as they keep talking -- if that is what is happening then Frist has told them to talk of they are voting!

What a waste of taxpayer dollars!

I saw an hour of it this morning with Durbin, Reid and the Republican Senator from Utah, his name escapes me right now, Reid basically says there will be no vote without getting what they want from the Repubs:

Which includes copies of the memos and writings of Estrada from the White House, Estrada telling who his favorite justice or judge through the years is, and answer questions to see if he's coming with a "clean slate" or preconceived opinions on cases he's had no knowledge of.

Now, seems they're trying to give the impression that other business will go on without the vote or debate on Estrada.
