This Senate has a bunch of Firsts:
1) They filibuster judicial appointments 2) They prevent recess appointments
How’s that approval rating holding up?
Nothing they do can surprise me anymore.
Someone on the GOP side needs to get smart enough to block Webb’s car.
I for one approve. The less time these rascals are in session the less damage they cause, generally speaking.
It’s a shame we’re not paying them on a piecework basis, however. They’d all starve.
Does anyone realize how stupid this is and looks? Webb is an idiot...in 2008 the donkeys are screwed [and they did it to themselves].
What these RATS just don’t get it that payback could easily happen. They cannot control the Senate forever. What we have to concentrate on is making sure we get a Republican President elected next term as well at getting the Senate back.
they managed to actually DO something.....we’ll add this to the short list of accomplishments....
I want to see that video of “We killed the Patriot Act” over and over next year in all GOP political ads.......

I’m sure they’ll offer Virginia about $1 billion in pork for Webb to ‘oversleep’.
Well, I suppose it's an improvement over his thoughts of banging prepubescent children. Oh, it's just a novel?
If it was us, we’d be applauding our smarts ...
And....
3. they investigate the entire Bush Administration and hold hearings that go nowhere.
They’re being out-mamuverued constantly by the GOP, lol.
A session of one...
So what is the appropriate answer to that game?
Our side would have to bother to show up...
Looks like Webb has finally found a purpose for being in the Senate.
Other than being able to lose track of his pistol with impunity.
can the Repubs get 4 to be there for the next session
have them call the role etc... ?
Aeen’t there even *5* GOP Senators who aren’ pieces of chickenshit, to all show up tommorrow, to force a quorum call, and force the Dem to adjourn Congress when a quorum cannot be formed?
The Repub Senators are every bit as much a bunch of cowardly chickenshits as the sniveling whiner Dims and Gimmies.
Isn’t there anything the republicans can do? Like showing up and forcing a vote of some kind? Maybe motion to adjourn?
The Presidency is what he has always had his eye on since he decided to run for a senate seat.
All 49 Repubs would have to show up to the Senate just as Webb was hammering the gavel, but before he finished his 9 second speech.
As they walked in, VP Cheney would have to take the gavel from Webb to act as President of the Senate (his official title whenever he is in the Senate Chambers).
49 Repubs plus Webb is 50 Senators, the Constitutional requirement for a quorom.
With VP Cheney holding the gavel, the GOP Senate (it would be a GOP senate at that point) could pass whatever bill they desired, approve whatever judge (include a SCOTUS justice) they desired, etc.
So that's why Webb is trying to keep his Senate session brief (9 seconds!). This little trick of the Dems to keep the Senate in "session" while the rest are off on holiday vacations could backfire on them if the GOP unified and played sneaky hardball.
However, the last senator elected to the WH was Kennedy and he didn't really win, his daddy bought it for him. These donkeys that think their way to the WH is through their senate need to look closer at history. Webb is obviously kissing his bosses A, and you can bet Virginians wish they'd have never elected that bassturd. He's such a whiny baby...him and his face lift.
