There's going to be an all nighter in the Senate tonight
just reported on the Ed Show via Sen. Wyden.

3. Is one required to stay awake?
maybe the Senate could vote over his sleeping body.

4. Cool, I love all-night Congressional or Senate events.
Edited on Tue Mar-02-10 06:43 PM by Mike 03
They should put out a DVD box set called Congresses Greatest All Nighters, and it should include the Health Care Reform markup by the Senate Finance Committee and that amazing all-nighter with the combined House Rules and House Ways and Means Committee the night before the Health Care vote in Congress.

I'm not being sarcastic, either.

9. They'll never do it.
The geriatrics in the Senate don't just live on their side. And Harry Reid has no spine.

I'll eat my hat if this actually happens.
