Specter is trying to get a vote NOW!

[in_cog_ni_to]

He doesn't think the Dems have anyone else to speak and wants a vote on ScAlito NOW. Here we go!:scared:

[jillan]

1. ahhhhh----

Dems - are you ready????

[doublethink]

2. .........

:grr: trying to pre-empt any Kerry drive for a last chance filibuster ........ :grr:

[kentuck]

4. Cloture vote shuts Kerry down.

As quick as you can say "filibuster"...

[doublethink]

19. What's Specter scared of here then? What's his point?

Is he trying to get Reid to force his hand? Reid is playing this cool, not saying if this will go into the weekend or not. Remember when the Repubs were trying to get the Patriot Act renewed before the holiday and the Dems just kept speaking? Same kinda shit going on here. Peace. :)

[doublethink]

31. They need 60 for Cloture right?

If US (phone calls, e mails, faxes) and Kerry get 41 ...... I'm just saying, buying time. Who knows? It ain't over till the fat lady sings! No offense to .... oh never mind. :) Peace.

8. 5:30 Monday vote.

Dems have 7 more speakers.

[Craig3410]

17. AM or PM?

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. PM....you don't really think the Senators would go to work at

5:30 AM, do you? ;) Hell, we're lucky they make it there at 9:00 AM.

5:30 PM on Monday. That's what Specter WANTS. I'm not so sure Reid is going to give in to that day and time.:) We'll see.

[doublethink]

37. Thank's ......

Your thread here and when Specter came to the floor just now was 'the tense moment' of the day. Reid handled that well. Fight On! It ain't over yet. Peace. :)

3. is this airing on c-span?

[izzybeans]

yes cspan2

[catmother]

7. yes. nt

[catmother]

5. i feel the tears coming to my eyes. everyday it's something else.

[joanski0]

6. Specter waiting for Harry Reid, whining

about how the Repukes planned to go out of town this weekend to plan their agenda, but stayed because of this debate. They had considerable expense. Boo Hoo

[catmother]

10. oh how terrible for them. nt

[Nutmegger]

9. Oh damn I thought this would have been later

Here we go...:scared:

[in_cog_ni_to]

12. Specter just suggested a Monday vote at 5:30? Reid objected?

Interesting.:)

[jillan]

11. Reid to the rescue -

whew!

[WI_DEM]

13. delay it until after the sotu

[LeftHander]

14. if they have the 41 votes...

The GOP will make them filibuster all weekend...until they are forced to withdraw the nomination.

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. Specter..when will you be ready to vote? : ) Reid...doesn't know.

:7 Hmmmmm....stalling for filibuster votes?

[kentuck]

16. I do not think they can ask for any vote until all Senators have spoken?

It appears the Democrats are killing time. :)

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. Specter..."debate or vote" " if you don't debate, you vote."

WHINE, WHINE, WHINE!

[joanski0]

21. Reid said he had speakers this afternoon and

for tomorrow. Reid was noncommital about when the vote would take place.

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. Right. He seemed a little "sheepish" to me. Did he seem that way to

anyone else? (Harry Reid)

[joanski0]

32. He sure did seem sheepish. I think it's

because he isn't ready to give up yet. Reid certainly isn't ready to set a time for a vote just because Frist is putting pressure on Specter to pressure Reid.

[tatertop]

24. what a mean spirited bastard

[truebrit71]

25. I hate that 'magic bullet' asswipe....

..:grr:

[jillan]

20. Specter was getting a little too snippy at Reid.

That was uncalled for.

[in_cog_ni_to]

26. Specter's an ass. He's ok when he gets his way, but is a miserable

SOB when he doesn't. Reid handled him well though. Schmoozed his ass. ;)

[woodsprite]

33. I honestly do not fathom how 95% of the people in congress

can look at themselves in the mirror in the morning.

[jillan]

36. I know - I ask myself that everytime I watch them on cspan. n/t

[kentuck]

27. They smell the blood in the water....

and the Democrats did the stabbing...

[jillan]

29. listen to this idiot now -

Burr from NC - vote now, vote now.

Shutup!

[drm604]

28. CALL AND FAX YOUR SENATORS.

IF they're Democrats, ask them to filibuster. If they're Republicans, tell them not to vote to change the filibuster rules! Call and FAX all of their local and DC offices. DO. IT. NOW. Do it even if you're sure your Senator is hopeless. Tell the Republicans that we're sick of their overreaching power grabs and that changing the Senate rules would be just one more example!

[Max Cherry]

30. This is what I was afraid of!!!!!

I never thought it would come to this!!! These stupid repubs will now own the White House, Congress and NOW the COURTS!!!!! FU them!!!!

[jillan]

35. And all this coming from the 'uniter, not the divider'

That was the biggest lie * ever told.
Before I never understood repugs - now I can't stand them.

Welcome to du Max Cherry:hi:

[in_cog_ni_to]

34. Burr..."stop the assassination."?????? What a JERK.

MY G-d! Have I told you yet today how much I HATE these people??? !@#$%$#@!@#$%^&^%$
