Dick Durbin on Senate floor, "The Democrats have decided we are going to have a REAL FILIBUSTER" !!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

over the Iraq War legislature that the repukes keep filibustering! It sounds like the Democrats are going to filibuster until they get their bills passed!:bounce::bounce:

He's on the Senate floor RIGHT NOW. C-SPAN 2.

[EFerrari]

1. Watching now. Thanks!

:bounce:

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. I-AM-SHOCKED! Where'd they find their nerve?

It's about damn time they pushed their MAJORITY weight around!:bounce:

[EFerrari]

6. One step, another step. We'll be fine.

:)

[originalpckelly]

7. I like me some spiney Dems!

:woohoo:

[rainy]

2. they are forcing the repugs to filibuster. Rather than just not voting

the dems are holding the floor open so that the repugs have to keep talking for 30 hrs.

[IndyOp]

10. Sweet - Thanks for the explanation. (n/t)

[eleny]

3. watching now, too!!!

[Mythsaje]

5. Listening to the Repugs talk for 30 hours

just might cause brain damage.

Be warned.

[EFerrari]

8. No kidding!

You might as well have an episode with vodka.

No thanks!

[aquart]

9. First, you have to have a brain.

I'm not feeling the love today.

[iconoclastic cat]

11. We *need* to come up with a drinking game for this! nt

[BlooInBloo]

13. Au contraire, There might be nothing more cathartic for the country...

... The "they knows not what they do" defense will no longer hold water.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

12. Turned the sound off, just watching on my screen.

Getting Cspaned out here. I'd like to see an old fashioned knock down, drag em out fight on the floor. Fists flying and Graham crying.
Hey, a person can dream, can't they?! All this politeness is making me nauseous.

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. I agree! I often wonder how the hell the Democrats can continue to control themselves

and not beat the living crap of of the likes of Sessions, Brownback, Lindsey Graham, John Kyl, Inhoffe, John Cornyn, and their ILK???

They all have to be on blood pressure medication!!!

[pinto]

14. He's doing a good job. Calling out the (R) attempt to avoid a decision.

:kick:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

16. Sweet. I hope that the whole thing gets continuous airplay on CSPAN.

[MiniMe]

22. I think that they have to

CSPAN 2 must show the Senate whenever it is in session, and CSPAN1 must show the house. They may move it to CSPAN1 if the house is out, but it must be shown.

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. Dick Durbin is now reading a section of the CONSTITUTION TO WARNER! LOL!

:rofl::rofl:

[pinto]

18. Man, Warner is trying to sidetrack Durbin as best he can. Within the limits of Senate

debate, but pretty transparent. Durbin looks to stop this.

[rodeodance]

21. saying it is the CinC who decides strategy--an Levin amend would be UNconstitutional.

[pinto]

19. Geez, Sessions comes up. Another sidetrack. They (R) are avoiding the amendment.

Is arguing that we can't 'change policy' again...while we're on what? plan E, part III of the Bushco doctrine?

:eyes:

[rodeodance]

20. Session is having a meltdown----what a WHINNER

[trashcanistanista]

23. Sessions - STFU n/t

but, but. we agreed in May on September! BWHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

[pinto]

25. I kind of like how he refuses to say Bush, but uses Commander in Chief. (Oy)

Ok Jeff, we got it, already...

[The Stranger]

24. Wait a minute -- he might run outside and apologize again.

He did that one time after criticizing the Guantanamo Concentration Camp.

[Cameron27]

26. Oh damn I missed it,

Grassley's up now.

[pinto]

27. J,M & J - Grassley up to talk about undocumented workers,

and terrorism...What next? Same sex marriage? (R)'s are playing their tried and true cards. I'm babysitting my sister's dogs, need to take them for a walk...see you all later.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

28. Grassley has a certain kind of charm when he's in a good mood.

Makes me think of Billy Bob Thornton. This is really boring w/ the sound off.

[KAT119]

29. Yes IT IS!
