1. Watching him now.

Kerry speaking about deeply held concerns (about Bolton), and the evidence from people that have worked with Bolton and the picture they have painted about the nominee.

[Dr Fate]

2. Highlights?

????

[welshTerrier2]

3. Kerry said ...

"In addition, we will have to deal with Syria itself" ...

i wonder what he means by that ...

[IndianaGreen]

4. Kerry is talking about Bush withholding documents about Bolton

Kerry is giving a full account of how the nomination got to this point. Bush withholding even unclassified e-mails from the committee.

This is quite a thorough account of what went on inside the committee during the Bolton hearings.

[IndianaGreen]

5. Kerry says that a vote on Bolton must wait until documents are received

Kerry said that such a move is not a filibuster.

[Nite Owl]

6. So what does this mean?

Will the dems block a vote tonight?

[IndianaGreen]

7. There is a cloture vote scheduled for later today

Let's see if those "moderates" vote to keep the debate going, based upon the concerns about Bolton and the documents requested by committee, or choose to vote the party line as I suspect.

[Nite Owl]

8. Didn't expect a test

of the deal to come this soon. All the dems need to do is stick together to block this and they we wait to see what Frist will do.

[IndianaGreen]

10. Lindsey Graham was part of that deal, yet he will vote for Bolton

Voinovich is on right now saying why he will not vote for Bolton. The question is how many Republicans will join the Democrats in voting against cloture.

[Dr Fate]

9. I like it- turn over ALL the documents b/f we vote.

Seems reasonable to me.

[DearAbby]

11. Yep, let them see the documents before the vote...very reasonable

Lay it in the lap of the White House, they want their guy in? Cough up the documents. What do you have to HIDE???


WHAT IS THE WHITE HOUSE HIDING ABOUT BOLTON?
