Rep Rick Nolan MN - what a congressman!

Last edited Wed Jun 22, 2016, 07:24 PM - Edit history (1)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Nolan

A speech that will go down in the history of the US House!

Clamoring for video now...

On edit: WTF???? Someone put their hand in front of the camera and the feed went dead!!!!!!

On edit again: The C-Span feed is NOT the official one. What we're watching on C-Span is a Periscope feed from Rep Scott Peters (D-CA). There is no official feed from the House because they are technically "in recess".

Here's an explanation of it from earler today:

more than they protect humans. Major kudos to Rick Nolan and all the Dems for this historic move.

We have firearm-control laws that protect wildlife (which is very good, of course) but does NOT protect humans!!!

It looks like *someone* is trying to knock out the camera feed, too! The camera keeps "falling over". I want to know the backstory of THAT!!

They are going to try every trick in the book to stop this. I sure hope they don't succeed.

Dayum the asshats!

I need to get back to watching. I doubt there is anything "mysterious" about it. Cooley.

...so Rep Scott Peters is broadcasting it via the Periscope app, and C-Span is showing it.

and immediately understood why he was one of the few Democrats in MN facing a tight re-election.

I have not seen his speech today. I don't have cable so haven't been able to watch any of the proceedings on congress.
