Live stream from C-SPAN

Comments and discussion of the live coverage of the continuing Estrada filibuster.

[RobFromGa]

Talming about Estrada.

Not heard a good reason this filibuster should continue.

[Mo1]

Hatch is talking about Estrada

BTW .. What was that about the cloning bill?

[ken5050]

Richardson lately sounds like he's running for chair of the DLC...

[hobbes1]

Letter from the End of Last week.....Go ORRIN!

[CougarGA7]

Thanks for the info. When I called his office last time, his receptionist said he needed more information on Estrada and that's why he didn't want to vote on him. Now I can call and ask why he squandered the opportunity to ask these questions.

[estrogen]

The dem from NM was saying he hoped the administration would address the crisis of our oil supply

[ken5050]

OK..thanks...reagrds..

[votelife]

I hope the administration asks the good senator from NM to support anwr.

[cyncooper]

Sen. Hatch reading the WH letter into the record. The letter that asked for any Senators that claimed they had questions to go ahead and submit them.

[Mo1]

The NM gov, Richardson is Hispanic. I doubt he will comment on it

I agree ..

[RobFromGa]

Hatch: last week we offered to let anyone with questions meet with Miguel, we also offered to answer addiotnal written questions...

Rush: Just said that he'll comment on Estrada, he can't get to everything in the first hour... (he's been discussing Mohammed, and Iraq, and the major announcement that Dodd has said he won't run for Pres.)

[cyncooper]

Sen. Hatch says as far as he knows, none of the dems who claimed they lacked information submitted even one question.

He harkens to the tale of the boy who kills his parents then pleads for mercy because he is an orphan.

Now he's reading another letter into the record, but I missed who wrote the letter.

[justshe]

As far as Hatch knows, not ONE Senator submitted additional questions or availed themselves of the service offered in last Thursday's letter from Gonzales.

[fml]

Orrin Hatch pointing out again all the stall tactics from the other side.

[deport]

I'm off to add and subtract numbers.

---

Have fun.... just be careful while practicing multiplication.

[RobFromGa]

Hatch:

Still referring to the filibuster going on and on, (are we in a filibuster?)

Saying that 51 Senators last week said they support Estrada.

Saying that those who want more information really don't.

[RobFromGa]

but I missed who wrote the letter.

came from the White House to every Senator. Maybe Gonzalez?

[scubadan]

I saw your signs at the Cleveland rally Sunday but didn't have time to track you down and say hi. It was a great rally...too bad we don't see any national news coverage. Speaking as a Wolverine....those Buckeye fans I met weren't too bad. Dan

[justshe]

Jinx, you owe me a coke! (wink)

[RobFromGa]

Hatch:

solution to this impasse is a VOTE.
