Scenario: filibuster is still underway during SOTU. Do Senators continue

[LosinIt]

talking to empty chamber?

[ananda]

1. Yes

hehheh

Anyway, who wants to hear * making his pitch for new recruits? Ugghh.

I definitely plan to be watching something else.

2. That is not the way it works.

There is no physical filibuster, despite 'Mr. Smith Goes To Washington'. These days the filibuster is a formality not a talk-a-thon. One side indicates that it intends to extend debate indefinately, the other side can call for a vote on ending that debate. That is it. Any actual speechifying is completely voluntary.

4. Yes - they "freeze" that particular vote and move on to

other business - effectively killing it for the time being - sometimes for good.

3. Wow my husband asked me the same question--I was going to post it here

Thanks.

I told him I thought that they'd cut off the filibuster for the SOTU, but I wasn't sure.

It would be interesting. I mean would they have to get the Capital police to haul them off the stage so Little Lord Pissypants could get his standing ovations?

5. Too bad non politicos are no allowed to filibuster. I would love...

to rant about why Alito is not fit.

6. If I see ONE Democrat..........

stand up for anything that comes out of King George's shit hole............. :grr:

8. Sadly, I Think That's Possible

That's one of the reasons why you couldn't pay me to watch it!

7. You kidding...the Euphemedia wouldn't let them stop

It's a ratings wet dream. Split screen, multiple correspondents, primetime audience.

If you know anyone euphemedia types, call and "pitch them the storyline."
