C-SPAN

[Cordova Belle]

From your mouth to God's ear.
I am praying, since any more faxing or calling might caost me my job! But prayer is a mighty weapon, too.

[Quilla]

Yep, ol Senator Depends up now.

[alnick]

Yes, it would be a good idea to wait and see what happens before complaining about what MIGHT happen.

[Green]

I get so aggravated with their circular talking. Reid was just up saying that he has letters and read the last sentence of one saying that Estrada is an idealog (sp?). Yet Daschle was up just prior to Reid saying they still do not know enough about him. Contradictions and not being called on it drives me batty!

[RobFromGa]

Leahy:

At stake is lifetime appoinmentt to highest appeal court in country...Privacy rights will be either gained or lost on this court.

[Cboldt]

Each cloture motion and vote ends a cycle. If 16 Senators wasnt to do another motion/vote cycle, then another motion will be filed.

Daschle said that? On what precedent is he citing? He needs a copy of the Constitution.

[hobbes1]

Exactly. A feint, some jabs....switching to Southpaw and Back (god I miss Marvin Hagler)....

Only Mike Tyson can walk in just knock guys out.

[hobbes1]

He needs a copy of the Constitution.

He has one. On the roll next to his Toilet...

[RobFromGa]

Leahy:

Accused Estrada of stonewalling the Senate, White House assisted in stonewalling, GOP seeking to pack court with ideologues. Efforts by Dem leaders have been rejected by White House.

[PhiKapMom]

I was on the phone and just turned to C-SPAN -- thought the vote was scheduled at 9:30 est according to the Senate website. As usual I turn on the Senate and up pops Leahy! Never fails, I almost always get a RAT when I turn it on.

[mabelkitty]

Now who would beat little johnnie red?

[RobFromGa]

Leahy:

Wants apology from GOP for calling Dems Anti-Hispanic.

[mabelkitty]

Oops. My mistake. You said "attacked". That has a different meaning in jail lingo.

[Carolinamom]

Laugh of the morning: Leahy calling this politics from the WH and calling for an apology for saying dems are anti hispanic.

[EllaMinnow]

Oh dear, it's Leahy.

And I gave up cussing for Lent!

[RobFromGa]

Leahy:

You can tell I'm lying cause my lips are moving.

[sinkspur]

Thanks. Lisa Murkowski, huh? I'd never seen her before.

She's a lot easier on the eyes than her daddy is.

[Cboldt]

There is no way the Senate can NOT vote, except by ajournment. Whining will not get this hot spud off their lap.
