Is anyone watching C-span 2? Did Bill Nelson just say he is going to
filibuster something? He said the WH and the Senate Leadership won't provide him what he wants and he won't stop talking until he gets it (:shrug: )

What is going on?

1. Filibustering the Energy Bill until he has assurance that
language authorizing exploration along Florida shores will be taken of the bill. (Martinez is supporting him).

Domenici and Bingaman say they cannot share the language with him until they show it to some GOP Senator.

3. This sounds like an excellent move by Nelson. This is what he
is in the Senate from Florida to do - protect them.

It shows a good reason for Florida to make sure they keep a Democratic Senator next year when he is up for reelection against Cruella.

Is THAT what he's pissed about? LOL! I hope Nelson does filibuster to get what he wants. These bastards are acting like spoiled 2 year olds when they don't get their way!
