LIVE THREAD: Estrada Filibuster DAY 2

Judging from last night's episode, the speaker can accept questions so long as he says, "Retaining my right to the floor." Let's hope Coleman now pulls an Orin Hatch procedure and keeps the floor with the help of other Repubs.

Coleman from MI, sounding like an outsider and holding Rats to higher standard then what they are doing. Lets vote and move on and forget yesterday. (This message will be easily grasped by 3rd parties).

Norms cool as an Autumn breeze. He's my pal, be careful! ;^)

I hope Senator Byrd comes back on today for a dose of humor.

I may call his office and ask them to suggest he talk about pinto beans and cornbread and perhaps he could let America know how to cook this West Virginia meal staple.

Geeez, you leave the room for a minute and there's 300 more posts to this thread.

Put Hillary up against Guiliani and she doesn't have a chance. She wouldn't be there except

God had other plans for Guiliani and for the people of NYC on 9-11 and the days that followed. I believe that with all my heart.

So we have to take the good with the bad. We love the good and are revealing the bad.

[ArneFufkin]

He's from MN genius.

Maybe we should have MurryMom's posts deleted if he continues to refuse to enter into debate and persists in hit and run posting of drivel.

Just saw how the judiciary committe is going to be fillibustered. They won't allow the judiciary commitee to meet with unanimous consent.

Try Senator Inouye from Hawaii. He said he would vote for Estrada if he came up for a vote. Fax # 202-224-6747 - Phone # 202-224-3934.

Help me out here. Is it the job of a sitting judge to "fight for" Latinos, or anyone else? (Boxer just implied as much.)

That is exactly what Dems think judges ARE supposed to do. They do not believe Republicans when a nominee says he/she will uphold the law of the land - BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY (liberals) DO NOT FOLLOW THAT TENET!

Were they just denied Santorum's motion for JUDICIARY to go past 1 PM?

Thanks for the thread, Howlin. Good afternoon eastern and mid-western states, g'mornin to the rest.

Ragtime-Norm talking about the threat posed by Saddam Hussein. I wish he'd de-bunk every lie of Boxer, Feinstein and Daschle....NOW!

I wish he had, too.

I cannot understand why only two senators on the judiciary sent written questions to Mr Estrada if they TRULY felt he did not answer questions. This reeks of hypocrisy, no, this reeks of lies on the dem side. Boxer has no ethics. She is an empty vessel that has just unloaded it's false and truly wrongful garbage.

A cloture vote, as I understand it, takes 60 votes. Last I heard, the Republicans have 55 votes.

Let's hope Coleman now pulls an Orin Hatch procedure and keeps the floor with the help of other Repubs.

He said in deference to the dems (Reid had protested saying they had two dems that wanted to speak!) he would shorten his remarks.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

I missed this LOL did he have on hid KKK robe?

[KingPin]

I'm thinking about Calling Landreiu, but it'd be pointless, she is taking heat locally for supporting Estrada during her campaign to get the hispanic vote, but she sold them out.
