You have got to be kidding! Why would I share a source on a public forum?

Consider that I never said it!

[ForOurFuture]

Is the current call still part of the quorum call? This isn't THE VOTE, is it? No, just saw the bit about Seargent at Arms.

[Dianna]

Aw heck...I don't understand what is going on, and now I have to stay up until I see what happens! LOL!!

[hoosiermama]

Are we going on all night? Heheheehee

[jdontom]

I don't thank I've felt this PROUD in a long time as when Sen. Frist took the floor and announced its time to Vote...

[GOPrincess]

I'm trying to figure out if something exciting is happening or not!

[Dolphy]

Can you tell me how this current motion, if passed, will work?

[Moosehead]

Do we need 60 votes or 60% of those answering the quorem call?

[Miss Marple]

PKM, Torie was hoping you would pull a Durbin. Ha!

[Helen]

Ditto that!

[Slyfox]

Frist said he wanted the vote on the nominee by midnight.

I suppose it requires all Senators to get to the floor. I have never seen this before, and I watch TOO much C-SPAN. Wow!!!
