Hmmm.... are you sure Corzine is talking about Estrada? Are you sure the filibuster is happening? Maybe the GOP caved and allowed the Dems to move onto other issues.
I thought during a filibuster the speeches had to be germaine to the issue at hand, although then why would Senators in the past be allowed to read the phone book. I am confused...

Count me confused too...

But then, of course, I cannot find logic in anything a democrap says, so I'm perpetually confused when listening to one.

They can talk about anything.

Filibuster speakers do not have to speak about anything pertinent to the issue on which they are trying to prevent a vote. In the good old days, senators would stand up for hours and read the names out of the D.C. phone book.

I am hoping it reaches that point as it hasn't been done in a long time, most people will be appalled by it, and it will only make Daschle and his band of flaming hacks look very bad to the American people, especially in the Hispanic communities.

They could talk about pulling lint from their belly buttons if they want to. That might be more interesting than what they are talking about.
