[MiniMe]

[Dante_]

1. thanks

thanks

[VP505]

2. Boy, is he ever

giving them hell, damn I would like to see him as Majority leader. He is really laying it on them, Bu$h/Cheney McChinless and RePukes in general.

[MiniMe]

3. Yes, he is giving it to them from all sides. His theme seems to be "No More"

[debbierlus]

8. All logic & common sense

Let's watch as the dems give the administration even more protection & yet again, aiding & abetting their crimes.

Thank you Senator Dodd. You have to filibuster.

[debbierlus]

4. I can't believe the dems

What we have is a handful of TRUE dems within a corporatist party.

It is beyond belief that the dems control Congress, & the dems are supporting this....

5. K & R!

MKJ

[VP505]

6. He said:

(paraphrased) the American people are fed up with this President, day after day, trampling on their rights!

[MiniMe]

7. He is fed up, and he isn't going to take it any more

At least that is the impression I get from this speech. It doesn't seem to have a time limit on it, or if it does, it is an extended time limit.

[MiniMe]

9. He actually used the word collusion with immunity and warrentless wiretapping

Go Dodd!

[MiniMe]

10. It is on cspan2, if you can watch it, I recommend it highly

[LSK]

11. is this the old fashioned filibuster?

[MiniMe]

13. I heard that isn't until next week

But he is on fire now. He is going point after point after point over all the lies and constitutional breeches.

[LSK]

14. how long does he have to speak?

[MiniMe]

16. I don't know, he has been talking for a long time.

[fenriswolf]

17. all night long baby.

[LSK]

20. hes done

[fenriswolf]

15. reid is making dodd take the podium

and filibuster his heart out, no fake "we need 60 votes crap" This is unfathamoble. Reid is a freaking corporate sell out in it together with nancy to allow this president to make even more f'd up mistakes. Go dodd.

[LSK]

18. I cant understand Reid

I went to opensecrets to see how much money the telecoms are giving him and its not significant.

:shrug:

[MiniMe]

19. I thought they weren't going to fillibuster until next week? He just yielded the floor

[Robbien]

21. Reid is not a sellout. He is spearheading the immunity deal

No one is fighting harder for the Telecos than Reid.

How did this guy get a D after his name.

[L. Coyote]

12. K & R & Impeach two too

[gratuitous]

22. Discussion about rules

This isn't the filibuster; they're just discussing whether amendments to the proposed FISA bill will be allowed on a straight majority vote or if they will require a 60-vote threshold.

Lame-ar Alexander yapping now.

[MiniMe]

23. OK, he is done. The vote is next week.

Guess he is getting warmed up

[VP505]

24. Senator

Lamar Alexander giving kudos to Senator Dodd, calling it vigorous debate, although the ass-wipe has to thrown in "although I disagree with most of what he said".

[LynzM]
