Are you fucking happy?
Please tell me that you're fucking happy now. All I've been seeing around here are threads about how pissed off you are and how ready you are to leave the party - so please, tell me that this pleases you for a change.

42. This pleases me
This is giving the GOP a taste of what is to come. This is only a taste, this is not even one one-hundredth of what would happen if they shut it down.

If they can piss off the GOP this much with a taste, I think they can defeat Alito easily.

50. No, we ultimately can't defeat Alito.
Simple procedure. We filibuster, they nuke, game over. Alito's not going down. But that's not to say we can't take a pound of their flesh for doing it.

52. This is a minor glimpse into a post-nuclear Senate
All Reid did was follow the rules.

He's called tehir nuclear option bet and raised 'em.

This is great, its about time the Dems grew a pair, stood up and said enough is enough!

And how surprising is it that the mainstream media is almost exclusively showing republicans yelling about how inappropriate it is.

30. it HAD to be done this way
This is the only way to get the issue on the table.

Phase II was 80% done in July 2004. The Republicans in control refused to allow it to be finished. At the time they said it would be finished around the end of the year - after the elections.

I called the Senate Intelligence Committee and Senator Durbin's office a week or so ago to ask about the report. Committee office just said it wasn't finished yet and didn't know if or when it would be. Durbin's office said the Republican majority controls the actions of the committee.

That's why the Repubs are so pissed. They've been able to keep this quiet so far. And they did it by using the rules - the majority party controls the agenda. The Democrats found a way to force their hand - also using the rules.

Q: Why hasn't the Senate initiated an investigation about Libby's indictment and the CIA leak case?

A: (I think it was Santorum) That isn't what this is about.


That is EXACTLY what this is about.
