Can you tell me if the house is filibustering or what?

1. I do not believe that the filibuster is a procedure that is in the House rules

so I would say that they are probably not filibustering.

2. Every time I click to CSPAN 2

It seems a Repug is talking about a different subject and it just goes on and on and on. I'm just trying to figure out what is going on. The senate votes down troop support after Reid passionately (for him) speaks to the suicide of our kids at war and reminds the assholes they "are not machines" and to listen to the 7 brave Repubs supporting the troop redeployment and not the president. The house is doing what?? Any body know??

3. That's pretty much commonplace.

Before big votes, everyone wants their shot to get as many opportunities for quotes in the hometown papers and 15-second clips on the local news.

No filibusters in the House.

4. Thank you for the explanation. No time limits, eh?

5. Right now on CSPAN 2

the Senate is discussing morning bsiness. The two ammendments failed (Webb and McCain) and there is no filibustering, they were both withdrawn. I don't know about the moveon ammendment, it just seemed to end without a vote. Hope this is helpful.

6. I've been able to follow what's happening in the senate it's the house

that confuses me. Thanks for the explanation.
