SENATE ESTRADA FILIBUSTER (Live Thread)

[RobFromGa]

Senate Takes Up Estrada again-- 930am EST

Up Now...

C-SPAN2 Internet Link

[Otta B Sleepin]

Senator Frist is letting them off tonight. The next time they do this the RATs will not know if they have to go around the clock or not. This has only just begun.

Exactly.

[Political Junkie Too]

Durbin let slip that they had some DOJ documents that were privileged and were leaked to the Rats ILLEGALLY. Hatch went ballistic...

That's the kind of stuff that an honest media can't ignore. We'll see, though.

Anyone who thinks Frist has caved is a fool of no discernment.

Lott has us all gun shy.

[Spunky]

we need some people with balls. I cannot wait to run when I retire in 25 years.

They won't be to shriveled up by then will they? ;-)

[dfwgator]

I love cheesy poofs
You love cheesy poofs
If we didn't eat cheesy poofs
We'd be...lame

[Torie]

My point is not that team Daschle will drop the filibuster, but if it is dropped, it won't be per a deal made at midnight.

[clintonh8r]

Thanks. I just fired an email to Graham-cracker.

[freebilly]

Daschle (tomorrow): "We ought to be doing the work of the American people."

I seem to recall that "the work of the American people", in Daschle's eyes, had a lot to do with preventing a lying serial rapist from getting thrown out of office....

[deport]

What do you think is prime time for a showdown?

---

Shortly before the planes become airborne for Iraq.

[Political Junkie Too]

I have got to put the wine glass down now.

[Not French] Brandy for me.

[McGavin999]

I think the democrats didn't understand that Frist would enforce the rules of filabuster. He showed them tonight that he has certain rules in his hands to make sure that if that's what they really want to do, he's going to exercise his power as SML to make sure it's 24/7.

They have tonight to think about it, if not, all bets are off.

[PhiKapMom]

Senator Sessions is probably one of the best lawyers at getting his point across in the Senate. I have always found him very impressive!

[Cate]

don't worry Spunky, in 25 years we will have surely invented any body part you need to replace whatever is shriveled. Remember to ask us to vote for you.

[Political Junkie Too]

One thing keeping hope alive is seeing Dashle's face tonight. He did not look like a happy camper.

Kind of the opposite of the Jumpin' Jeffords look, huh?

-PJ

[jigsaw]

That is priceless!

How about putting it on T-shirts at Cafe Press? I'd buy a dozen (at least.)

[Miss Marple]

What is Sessions saying? I had turned off the TV.

[ImphClinton]

I filled out forms to both of my Dims.

[Capitalism2003]

Should I post this list every 50 posts? lol ;)

......
Anyone up for a little Freep of the demo senators? Leave them a voicemail tonight. I have a feeling when it comes time for a vote, some of the vocal opposition will cave and do what they must politically. They will not sacrifice the hispanic vote. A little friendly persuasion is all they need. Here are the voicemail #'s and some email addresses.

[KarlInOhio]

Our own Senator from Colorado - Wayne Allard - one of the rare Senators who is not a lawyer or a fatcat businessman (he's a veterinarian)

He might be a fatcat businessman if in his veterinary practice he specialized in feline obesity.

OK it's late. I'm sorry.
