WOW! Check out THIS rumor!
Edited on Thu Jan-26-06 08:08 PM by uppityperson
rumor has it that the vote is Monday and, while it is hard to wait and work and wait and see what will happen and much more quickly satisfying to be able to accurately predict the future, we need to continue to work and call senators and tell them what we think and WAIT until it is over before being able to know what happened. Weird rumor, eh?

rant about predicting taking precedence over action off.

Edited to correct the day of the vote.

1. Um, that didn't make any sense.

6. Rumor is that it is not over yet.
naysayers go naysay quietly and the rest continue to get the message out to senators. It was a cheap subject line to suck people in so I could rant and say that.

2. I'd love to see Senator Kerry and others stand to filibuster --
-- Alito a few hours prior to Dubya's lies for the SOTU address that evening.

It would be a damned fine thing to behold.

4. LOL! I think you're saying all these people saying "It's Over!" should...
... perhaps wait? :evilgrin:

Perhaps if we CALLED and asked the Senators to filibuster?
Perhaps if we WROTE and expressed our outrage to our Senators, they'd rethink their votes?
Perhaps if we SHARED our outrage with our family and friends?

Wow... good rumor... ;)

5. actually, "THE" vote is 4:30 pm est on Monday
that's when the cloture vote will be held ... the Tuesday vote will only occur if cloture passes (i.e. if there's no filibuster)
