http://firedoglake.com/2008/01/28/dick-cheney-telecom-amnesty-bill-liveblog-thread-1/SPECTER: I'm pissed my Amendment is being blocked by the obstructionist Republicans so I'm not going to vote for cloture.
JELLO JAY ROCKEFELLER: Despite the fact that this crappy bill is the result of my personal agreement with the White House to give them everything they want, I got punk'd and we're now being "held hostage" by the obstructionist Republicans who are blocking even the teeniest, most meaningless Amendment. This is how much respect the GOP has for "bipartisanship." I'm not going to vote for cloture, either.
Chris Dodd is just as wrong for trying to keep Dick Cheney and the telecoms from getting amnesty for their crimes as the GOP is for their insistance on ritual humiliation of us Democrats before they allow us to give them what they want.
BOND: Surly blah blah blah. (fumbles for mute button)
FEINGOLD: "Invoking cloture on this bill would be an abdication of our responsibility to consider legislation which will effect our constitutents for years to come."
CORNYN: Scary terrorists. Bad.
