Ooh they just announced Chuckie Schummer I'd love to see what he says if they go to a fillibuster. Nothing like an Ambulance Chaser running his mouth.

I think you are right, and judging by the names being called, it's the Dems coming late to the show.

Isn't that the truth! Thanks to the RATs we have Senator Frist who only comes to the floor and makes his speech when it has the most affect!

How many do they need to pass the vote giving authority to the Sergeant at Arms to roust the Senate? I don't know, but my guess is a majority of those present at the time can call for the rest to come, as long as at least 50%+1 is present in the first place.

That's easy, just have someone drive him in...over the bridge.
To: Utah Girl
LOL.
But maybe a daytime filibuster might be more effective, since Lautenberg will have to be back in his crypt before the sun rises.
To: PhiKapMom
Imagine...this is only for a Court of Appeals nominee. If it's this bad now, how bad will it get for a SCOTUS nominee.
