Republicans put Rick Santorum on at 3 a.m.

[Paragon]

Wise move -- everybody's asleep.

Except me. :argh:

1. Please keep a verbatim.

Then sleep per chance to dream..........

2. Never been a partisan filibuster to obstruct judicial nominations before?

hmmm? Is that so?

[Tatiana]

4. No.

Barbara Boxer debunked that myth about 4 hours ago.

Bob Smith, a Republican, admitted to filibustering two Clinton judicial nominations.

[Paragon]

5. The talking points they passed around...

...instructed them to say that there's never been a successful filibuster of a judicial nominee until now. (Republicans tried it a handful of times with Clinton's noms and failed.)

Chuck Schumer called them on the half-truth, so now they've dropped the word "successful" altogether.

6. You got it, kodi

I live in PA, too. I couldn't believe it. Santorum was up there with his charts saying I guess the Democrats don't want the economy growing, they don't like new jobs, etc. What a freaking liar. Then he tried to get an up or down vote on a nomination with 20 hours of debate. Objection heard. Then he tried to get an up or down vote with 30 hours of debate. Objection heard. Nope. The Dems aren't sleeping.
