Senate's back C-SPAN2 n/t

All I see is the floor of the senate walking around.... did someone just speak? Is this going to be a late night for these guys? Should I stay with Cspan2 or go back to watching football for awhile? :)

was that karma or what? :) .... oh boy Feinstein now .... this is going to get good. :)

and into bed.

Stevens is fighting it.

would be violated.

Presiding officer (Chambliss) says there would be at least one violation...

Show Stevens he's wrong!

He's getting all red in the face!

Kennedy up now protesting the drug company amendment..

CSPAN GEEKS - Blank Roll Call List for Senate
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5662313&mesg_id=5662313

is now part of the conference report

:hi:

rules have been broken because Katrina funding and Flu Pandemic funding are still in the bill? Is that what's going on? He's pissed because ANWR was removed (hahahahahahaha), but that funding wasn't?

The measures will be passed by unanimous consent.

take your meds, we may see history tonight. Think this may be a late night for us all. :) .... 9pm now on the East Coast, glad I'm in Cali. Don't think the Senate will be singing "I'll be home for Christmas" this year anyway. Peace. :)

Hope this isnt one of those vote at 4am nights.

learn to take naps. :boring: ...... mute button when the Repubs speak helps. :)

Kennedy's 15 minutes, then the GOP 15 minutes, then three unanimous consent votes and they go home.

Is that not what Frist and Reid agreed to?

guess I missed that agreement. Thanks. :)

I'm I getting this right?

In order to get help in hurricane annihilated areas, we would have to rape the wildlife refuge and wait for 20 years to produce blood oil from Alaska?

Stevens, STFU, you whiner.

Its a fucking blackmail attempt by him to get his ANWR drilling.

any minute now.:cry::cry::cry: Sore L-O-S-E-R!

without ANWR and threatening to visit Wash. state because of Cantwell fighting him on this.
Hey Sen. Stevens, I think you'll find the climate toward you a lot chillier in Seattle than in your home state.

He's not making much sense... rambling. I can hear Pagliaccio warming up behind him.

and tell us what our senators did. Yup, meltdown. And this guy is up there in the line of succession. He's gone over the edge, making it personal.

Will solve just about all of our problems!

Man, he's lost it.
Wasn't he supposed to quit over this? Might be better for his health.

asshole. He's insulted by the things he's read in the papers.:eyes: He's mad at what Durbin said to him...(I missed it) and will never will accept an apology.:rofl: waaaaaah!:cry: BASTARD! He's drawing a line? Hahahahahahahahaha! BUH BYE ASSHOLE!

Oh, please someone show him the door so he can go home and pout.

I think it's just for the Holiday and he'll be back. It's just a threat. However, he did say he would leave the Senate if he didn't get his ANWR passed. :7 Don't let the door hit ya on the way out!

At the rate he was going, I expected him to throw himself on the floor and kick and scream til his face turned blue.

I have been watching him do this for two day! I was hoping he wouldn't stroke out and I would miss it. We need to send Stevens a crying towel with a lovely picture of ANWR on it.

I think?

do the same thing to the other two as well?

awful lot of nays from the repug side for it to be that. :shrug:

:crazy: lol

Just read that on the screen. :)

the bill...

My wife and I just vowed never to vote for her again.

We know that she always votes with repukes on big-oil and related issues....But to see her do it live on C-Span was the last straw....Especially since she is now playing along with repuke "strategery" by voting to keep ANWR part of the defense spending bill. Truly sickening.

did she have to keep ANWR in the bill or not? OR will Katrina $$$$ be removed with ANWR? IF that's the case, I can understand her vote. IF NOT, there's NO EXCUSE for her to vote for keeping ANWR in the bill. I'm confused.:crazy:

She's been pro-ANWR all the way....

Sure, Louisiana is an oil-natural gas state, and some might say that she "has to" vote with the repukes on this. But she's also with them on any number of other pro-corporate scams

for Katrina aid, but we know she would have voted that way regardless

:( I just want the Gulf Coast citizens to have some relief. They've suffered enough. :(

Thats what CSPAN2 says.

:eyes:

through his hysteria, it sounded like Sen. Cantwell had proposed a resolution to remove ANWR. It would fit, since she's been threatening a filibuster if ANWR was included. but I don't know for sure.
It would be nice if CSpan could put on the screen what's being voted on.

Edited to add: And then I go back to the living room and there it is :blush:

Maybe Stevens will be out-a-there, too.

Who are these assholes voting no? What possible justification for tacking it on could they have other than the obvious?

Now, on to the Defense Bill vote.

Someone tell me NO!

long as he votes with the winning party. He can do it as many times as he wishes if he thinks he can twist more arms. :)

that ANWR would slid through in haste to expedite the recess.

It was, but the Dems put their foot down and got the votes to support a resolution to remove it. All the Dems thought it was a dirty trick, and so did some Repugs. You just can't attach something after the fact. It's against the rules and it would lead to anarchy. The House, speaking of anarchy, passed it with it in it, because they're insane. Now that it came back, the Senate voted to remove it and pass the bill.

ANWR is something that makes everyone's ears perk up when they hear it. It hasn't been able to pass on its own for 25 years. Today isn't its day either.

They also negotiated on extending the unPatriot Act for six months instead of three months to appease the Repugs and get home.

whew. LOOOOONG day.

I think we have it.

Specter is probably caving because of Patriot Act.

He was a NAY on the earlier vote too! I'll give credit where it is earned.

:)

for!

Have at it, Mr. Stevens. Enjoy your fruitcake this weekend!

He just LOOKS grouchy.

He will sulk........hold a grudge for the rest of his miserable life....He will be back.

My heart almost stopped this time after listening to poor Ted Stevens and his sob story!

Thank god again!

at least we got rid of ANWR.

They are voting to pass it now... see how relaxed everyone is... grabbing their coats, shaking hands, ready to leave. easy pass is my guess.

The previous vote was only about ANWR. But who knows what was snuck in this time.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Aye :P


see how easy that was?
:rofl:

93 Aye
0 Nay

g'nite ya'll

I thought we were going home?

is still on the floor threating every other Senator ...... going to all their states? :wtf: Hello Ebeneezer Scrooge! :rofl:

He wound up voting for the bill anyways. Even thou hes on video screaming against it.

Every American should see this temper-tantrum!

my bad. Missed this rant earlier ..... peace. :)

:nopity:

ROFLMAO

Poor whiney little republican PUKE.

Fuck him and his bridge to nowhere.
