Barak Obama just ROCKED on CSPAN!

[MrCoffee]

He was speaking regarding Specter's amendment to protect the Constitutional habeas corpus protection in the detainee bill, AND HE WAS MAGNIFICENT!

That was inspired. He was eloquent, patient, methodical...Senetorial, in fact.

I needed that today. Thank you Mr. Senator!!!

[mnhtnbb]

Please retitle. Just gave me a heart attack with "killed"

[MrCoffee]

4. Sheesh.

[JuniperLea]

11. Sheesh... indeed...

is it a rocker thing? Man, I say "killed" all the time... everyone knows what I mean. I'm constantly saying "killer" too. I guess I don't type it much though... weird, huh?

[MrCoffee]

14. i had no idea people would think a US Senator killed someone on

tv.

[JuniperLea]

16. No doubt!

It's been a long day... maybe we are all just getting a little sensitive:)

You kill, dude! heh

[MrCoffee]

17. stop it, you're KILLING me!

help! police! agent mike!!!

[Perky]

22. You have to go to Taiwan to see real Senate floor fight

Those people are nuts.

[Perky]

23. A dream ticket for 2016

Assuming we win the White House in '08

Barack Obama and Elliot Spitzer

Both these guys are too green for '08...but wow.

[SmokingJacket]

21. It is probably a rocker thing!

Killed means just one thing to me... and I'm not *that* old.

[Tellurian]

1. Great Headline..brilliant... GO BARAK! n/t

[MrCoffee]

8. take a xanax. or 12.

[Tellurian]

13. No, I'm having fun with you!

:hi:

[JuniperLea]

15. Good thing you caught yourself...

That wasn't nice at all...

[HysteryDiagnosis]

2. Oh... that's better than what your subject line said... How about

Obama just slayed them on CSPAN??

[stella]

3. GOOD FOR OBAMA

I hope they have a replay later tonight.

[philosophie_en_rose]

5. Killed whom?

oh.

[Bucky]

6. I knew what you meant by "killed" immediately and still it shocked me.

I'm certain that the plan is to torture him first.

[ThomWV]

7. He Also Did It After The Session Adjourned

So you'll never see it in the Congressional Record.

[MrCoffee]

9. It was in morning business...i'm fairly sure it's on the record.

[Kelvin Mace]

10. Unless he used the word "filibuster"

it is all theatre.

Either he will filibuster the law, or he won't.

Anything less is too little, too late.

[MrCoffee]

12. yes, and unless you play poker with the cards facing the table, you

clearly have a firm grasp of Senate politics.

What in the hell do you think Levin's amendment was?

[Kelvin Mace]

18. Again

Reid and the Dem leadership have been making noises about voting for this atrocity.

Either our democracy is more important than their politcal careers, or it isn't.

The willingness of Senate Democrats to vote for the torture bill appears substantial, at least if one listens to their leader, Sen. Harry Reid. From the New York Times this morning: "Democrats, who have found themselves on the losing end of the national security debate the past two national elections, said the changes to the bill had not yet reached a level that would cause them to try to block it altogether. To underscore the point, Reid said this about the bill: "We want to do this. And we want to do it in compliance with the direction from the Supreme Court. We want to do it in compliance with the Constitution."

[MrCoffee]

20. And Reid saw today that he has the votes to prevent cloture.

I'm predicting they will filibust (is that a word?) tomorrow.

[Kelvin Mace]

24. I wait to see

I have been disappointed too many times.

[Kagemusha]

19. See? If torture passes IT IS NOT OBAMA'S FAULT.

I said it in the afternoon and I'll say it in the evening... actually I just did...

[Kelvin Mace]

25. He certainly waited long enough to speak up

conferring with the pollsters, I'm sure.

[msongs]

26. did CHE GUEVARA believe in habeas corupus when murdering people? nt
