Jim Talent of Missouri currently speaking. John Cornyn on deck. Fifteen minutes remaining for the majority.
I recall hearing that when the libs had control of the House, Rebublicans were not even allowed to go to committee meetings being told "since they were a minority, they had no say on any issue".
Can anyone cerify this?
The way the dems are using filibuster in the Senate the tea doesn't COOL, it EVAPORATES!!!
BIDEN JUST SAID THAT THE DEMOCRATS REPRESENT A MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE!
Get the duct tape. I think my brain is going to explode.
I had to take a phone call. Is that true? I repeat, is that true?????
He's talking nonsense. Cooling saucer, checks and balances, the same old code words.
If there is no vote, how does the Senate, as a body, inform the President that his nominee has been rejected so he can nominate another??
This is rich!! My side of the aisle represenets more people than your side. nanny nanny boo boo Take that you rascally republicans!!!
But as always, Biden says something then renders it meaningless by saying "that's irrelevant". so like Biden, (and Hatch for that matter)! "On the one hand, but on the other hand" politicians make me wanna puke!!
I do wish I'd taken count of how many times Biden would say "quote/unquote" during this rant.
YES!!!!!
Now we have documented proof how they still think and why they go through the measures they do.
My Chiefs usually get more yardage in the game than their opponents....but they still usually lose the game.
Democrat funny math.
He just means that the democratic senators represent more people because there are a lot of Republicans from states with less people. Democrats represent several of the most populous states. True, but irrelevent.
The 'rats, sensing they have the votes, are refusing to compromise over SS private accounts.
I suspect Biden has notes in the margins from the writers of this speech: "raise voice here". "display dismay here". "repeat for emphasis". "stretch out 3 syllable word into a 5 syllable word". "Kerry style hand gestures here"
Joe is yelling again
He seems unusually unstable.

Thanks to Freemyland for the link. A good history and explanation of Senate procedure.
President Bush garnered THREE MILLION MORE VOTES than the gigolo.
He needs "anger mgt." heehee
If he says "hear me!" one more time, I swear I'm going to scream.
Now, suddenly, they care about the founders and their intent?
Where is he getting his numbers from??
It's true and that's why they have more reps in the House, but the Senate is not based on population.
