CNN just announced that the gang of 14 will meet one hour

[rainy]

before the vote. He speculated that they will agree that this is not severe enough to filibuster and will end it. Continued to say that Alito was a sure thing.

1. i was on the phone till 3 this morning calling the senate

but most of the dem lines were busy

now the staffers on in

bye. i'm going back on the phones!!!

[orleans]

2. Senate Switchbord: "all circuts are busy now. please

try your call later." so much for toll free!

i can't wait till later!

[Coexist]

3. I am SO sick of CNN

let's hope the Gang of 14 will listen to the great outpouring of opinion from the American People - that they are meeting means it is close.

But they make me nervous.

[rainy]

7. I was thinking they were calling the meeting because they see

the outpouring of support from the people. I am hoping for a huge suprising upset today.
What do you guys think?

[Coexist]

5. maybe they are meeting to discuss the nuclear option

because there WILL be enough votes for a filibuster.

[thereismore]

12. I agree. I think the 'buster is going to happen today.

If not, I will have a glass of white Rhineland wine and meditate.

4. Would someone post the Gang of 14 names/numbers here?

It'll help people who just look at this thread.
Thanks.

6. If that is true ......

..... each one of them should be horse whipped and salted.

Not one more dime to the DNC ever again

[rainy]

11. plus, we should follow-up with calls and emails that we will never

again give them money.

[thereismore]

8. That's a speculation. If they need to meet, it means there is

something to talk about.

Anyway, since when does 14 senators decide something for the whole Senate? Dammit I think the 14 are irrelevant now. Democrats, act your conscience!

[adigal]

9. Not one penny

from the DNC to ANY of them - or whatever organization supports them.

Not one goddamn penny. Better to have republicans than traitors, because the media uses the traitors against us.

10. At Least We Know Who Those Turncoats Are

And they paint a giant target on their backs if they do what they threaten to do.

Let it be known.

13. CALL THEM - THE RETHUGLICANS MUST BE SCARED

This doesn't mean anything...

It means they are meeting.

It does not say what individual people will do....

CALL THEM ALL & TELL THEM TO FIGHT
