By God - The Line Has Been Drawn

[ThomWV]

God bless Robert Byrd.

The Democrats will fight. At least one of them will.

What did Byrd say?

I'm at work and can't watch CSPAN.

5. If Frist goes nuclear, "By God, I'll fight," he says.

6. He basically said he hasn't served in Congress for all these

years to just roll over for an up or down vote if he doesn't agree with it, despite what Frist is insinuating (up or down).

11. Something like ...

If you want a fight, I'll give you a fight. I didn't live 80 some years and spend 40 some years in the Senate to watch Freedom of Speech in the Senate wither away. Then something else like--As long as the good lord lets me live, I will fight this.

I'm paraphrasing all of it, but you get the effect.

1. Feed the cube rats PLEASE!

[babylonsister]

2. I hope the rest of the Dems are listening to him. nt

[Bluebear]

3. "The Lord has let me live to protect this Constitution."

Argue THAT, right wing mullahs!

4. Context?

up filabuster...put it aside and focus on the nomination. ? He is saying the american people want this nomination??????I don't? He doesnt speak for me.

10. Kennedy speaking, I certainnly hope the number of Americans

listening have learned something about issues and rights that have been addressed this last hour. Have atteneded some twenty two of these nominations, I don't know a single member of the judicial committee that has said they would fillabuster...

Number of collegues does this mean you will not, your not going to give up your rights until the hearings and than your judgement comes as it should be..
