10:00 this morning. Examining the Filibuster: Silent Filibusters, Holds and the Senate Confirmation
Edited on Wed Jun-23-10 05:47 AM by lamp_shade
Process. Senate Rules Committee (Shumer chairs) hearing at 10:00 today. McCaskill, Grassley and Wyden will give testimony in first panel. Live webcast here > http://rules.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=CommitteeHearings&ContentRecord_id=e2701d28-668d-4d1c-9e6f-324aab11d272&ContentType_id=14f995b9-dfa5-407a-9d35-56cc7152a7ed&Group_id=1983a2a8-4fc3-4062-a50e-7997351c154b

According to this > http://rules.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=MajorityNews&ContentRecord_id=c24083a7-01ac-4036-9073-7ae0decd6057 McCaskill now has 68 (Crapo signed on yesterday) signatures. I wonder how soon she'll be able to get this to a vote.

1. BTW, I just noticed that Dorgan signed her letter twice. I just alerted her office. She knows.

2. I would bet even if she had a 100 signatures there would be a silent hold on it.
It is not going to happen...

3. Yes it will. This isn't a "bill"... it's a "Senate Rule Change". Here's more info >
