Is this true? A real "speaking" filibuster and not just cloture vote?

Some have problems with the spending part, but they still voted to end cloture. The final Health care bill vote is tomorrow. ...

I hope I do not have to explain filibuster again. ...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) wanted to prove on Thursday that Democrats don’t have the votes to weaken Congress’ authority on the debt limit. Instead they called his bluff, and he ended up filibustering his own bill. The legislation, modeled on a proposal McConnell offered last year as a “last-choice option” to avert a U.S. debt default, would permit the president to unilaterally lift the debt ceiling unless Congress mustered a two-thirds majority to stop him. Preside ...

Not sure of this has a chance, but certainly is quite an aggressive "here I am" by Warren. I have feeling that many of her colleagues on the right side of the aisle are now wishing she'd been appointed to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, her brainchild, which they opposed at the time. She will be exciting to watch for sure. ...

(More obstructism by Republicans just might lead to another vote in the middle of the night, IMHO. I hope they're forced to stay and actually filibuster, instead of just saying the word "filibuster" and everyone gets to go home.) --- By Sahil KapurSunday, December 20th, 2009 -- 5:24 pm WASHINGTON -- Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) said on Sunday she will join Republicans in filibustering the Senate health care bill, claiming the process has been moving too fast. "I deeply regret that I c ...

he would shift the balance of the court. What hypocrites they are and they get away with it. Apparently Harry Reid has forgotten his own role in trying to do so. Payback is a ....... Just two years ago Harry Reid went for the nuclear option eliminated the filibuster rule of 60-40 votes required to override one so he could pack the super-important DC Circuit Court with extreme leftist. The cool thing about having no moral values and no accountability is that you can lie without a guilty ...

I am the one that posted about the caps. The other thing I find interesting with my dentist and his digital x-rays is that for probably 12 years I have not had a cavity and I did get x-rays from my regular dentist that retired and also from a periodontist I went to but when I switched dentists a year or so ago I seem to always have something he finds. Not only the capping situation and pulling off caps and redoing them but also he redid a filling he said was leaking and now he finds ...

WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — Islamists in the Middle East are speaking out following President Barack Obama’s re-election Tuesday night. The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood feels that the only foreign policy change Obama can bring is by “accepting the will of the Arab people.” “We must rely on ourselves and on our resources and build our country,” Issam Al-Aryan, a top Muslim Brotherhood official, said, according to The Times of Israel. “In the absenc ...

Newt Gingrich was asked about gun control. It was interesting to note that Obama’s home town is the murder capital of the US. Gingrich also said that it’s illegal to have all the guns that are killing people in Chicago. He followed by saying, “If gun control works, Chicago ought to be safe.” That's a common sense statement if I ever heard one. ...

DENTON, Texas - A Denton teacher allegedly refused to grade two student reports because they were about guns. Now one mother is demanded answers and an apology. Marshall Williams said he and his classmates were told by Mr. Dewey Christian at Denton High School to write a report on anything that they were interested in using different types of sentence structures. He chose to write about the Fort Worth gun show. But then he said his English teacher told him he would get a zero on the a ...

What difference at this point does it make what he says? You can't believe any of it anyway. He just stands there and lies - about everything. If he says he is going to fix something (like the HC website), rest assured it's a lie. If he says those who are responsible in his administration will be "brought to justice" (one of his favorite lines) you can be sure they will either "resign" with a full pension and spend the rest of their days on a beach (Lois Lerner) ...

Did you see Chris Hayes issue an apology to Bill O'Reilly for twisting his words around last week when he (Chris) was on his race-baiting rant? I wonder how Brian Williams is going to enjoy being aligned with that bunch of racists and liberal zealots. It'll be interesting. LOL ...

Just wanted to let you know that I asked the question below (Would you be comfortable with another woman discussing her marital problems with your husband) because I actually had the unfortunate experience.

As the season progressed, her complaints progressed and the flirting started.&nb ...

The unclassified report shows the chemical weapons were used by Assad. He has not made a final decision. He is not considering any open-ended or military action that involves boots-on-the-ground but will be a limited, narrow act that would help make sure that Syria and others around the world know that using chemical weapons are not acceptable. You'll have to look up newspaper reports. I don't know if there's any as of yet. ...

I'll be moving in a couple months, from a house with hardwood floors and carpet, to a new house where I've elected to have vinyl "fake hardwood" due to aging dogs who are becoming less housebroken the older they get.
