Here we are again my friends, hopefully for the last debate thread on this particular monstrous legislation. Proceedings are supposed to begin at 9:30 a.m. EST, with the cloture vote being taken at 10:30 a.m.

On a personal note, you've all been wonderful in your passion, vigilance, and commitment to the principles on which our country was founded. If I have to be in a foxhole, I want to be in it with you guys.

And, like clockwork, here comes Durbin now to play the diversity/race card. Gag.

[rjp2005]

I’m still laughing. Sessions is awesome.

[Buzzm1]

Durbin’s up for Reeelection in 2008 too—put a bullseye on him.

[Guenevere]

Well......that's all the American citizens get....10 minutes.

Our 10 minutes are over.

...or maybe not!!!!!!...stay tuned!

[So Cal Rocket]

What time is the Cloture vote?

[mainepatsfan]

Does that idiot understand that the only reason he is a US senator was because the Dems screwed up the Wellstone memorial service?

[azhenfud]

Was this an actual quote from the floor?

[SE Mom]

DeMint was AWESOME!

Durbin is insane.

[don-o]

LMAO!!

Senator V wears his cap well.

[NordP]

oH...Take your turbin off, Durbin!!!

[ken5050]

Please take note of who hasn’t spoken..the GOP senate leader..Mitch McConnell...time for a change..

[wastedyears]

I have his diversity/race card in the form of an aluminum bat.

[indcons]

Put my TV on mute for the next 3.5 minutes. Dick “US Troops are Nazis” Durbin is on right now.

[paulcissa]

10:30 DC time

[spectre]

The vote better come soon, or I'm going into a complete meltdown!

“On Washington Journal this AM....Senator Sessions said he had 10 minutes....
..and they just tried to say 5 minutes...”

I was watching CSpan2 yesterday about 6:00 PM EST, and Sessions had Reid promise him ten minutes. Sessions is a stud. They fear him.

WE HAVE SHUT DOWN THE CAPITOL'S PHONE SYSTEM!

Don't wanna hear from the hoi polloi?

[angkor]

Our prayers have been answered...phones melted down...

I've been getting two rings followed by a busy all morning.

CSPAN was the same this morning when Sessions was on.

IIRC from something similar before, it means the central switches are clogged.

[nyconse]

Hell No in spades-I told Saxby and Johnny that as did many many Georgians...they think we are stupid.

[mainepatsfan]

Yeah that’ll really play well in Lewiston! /s
