[Howlin]

He's saying nobody called Estrada and asked to meet with him face to face. Frist: The majority will press for an up or down vote until Estrada is confirmed!

CALLING THE VOTE

[deport]

AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN

[RobFromGa]

Frist:

Estrada repeatedly offered to meet Senators personally and answer questions.

Hope that cloture vote succeeds first time, that's right thing,. if we need to we will vote again and again,

We will press for vote till confirmation

Fight for Justice is just beginning

Cloture Vote NOW.....

[Miss Marple]

Oh, don't bring up lists agin. I will have to start Gilbert and Sullivan quoting!

[MamaLucci]

Today I have this mental image of the entire global political left huddled together,
out on an extreme limb, with President Bush holding a chainsaw.

[Howlin]

Voting!

[hobbes1]

UNTIL MIGUEL ESTRADA IS CONFIRMED.

THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE IS JUST BEGINNING!!!!!!!

[RobFromGa]

Baucus said what???

[Bahbah]

Oh boy. Saddam should shortly be on a plane to Riahd.

[Howlin]

We certainl do live in interesting times!

[PhiKapMom]

The doctor who just happens to be the Senator from TN and Majority Leader is not going to blink! They have elected a tiger to be Majority Leader!

[justshe]

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cyncooper]

Doesn't sound wobbly to my ears.

Frist said he hoped the first vote on cloture would pass and end this, but if not, make no mistake, they will seek to end the filibuster again, and again, and again until Miguel Estrada IS confirmed.

Others have noted, the names are being called right now.

[Keith]

can anyone hear the responses to their names?

[Miss Marple]

Fox is having trouble with too much news. Poweell testimony at Coongres----Rumsfeld town hall meeting-----Powell(Leahy shows up there...ugh)-----soon Wolfowitz!

Leahy is now smarmily dissing the President while pretending to question Powell. Hopefully he will be smacked down soon.

[cyncooper]

can anyone hear the responses to their names?

No.

[Miss Marple]

That's "Powell" and "Congress." I hit the wrong button when I previewed!

[Slip18]

Am I on the right thread?

[jackbill]

can anyone hear the responses to their names?

Nobody has voted yet. When a Senator votes, the clerk repeats their name and their vote.

Today I have this mental image of the entire global political left huddled together,
out on an extreme limb, with President Bush holding a chainsaw.

LOL!

And we all have seen that wonderful photo of President Bush with the huge chainsaw on Rintense's threads!
