NO CLOTURE ON THE FISA BILL!!

[annabanana]

Yay!
We can go to amendments!

[annabanana]

1. McConnell saying that the extention shouldn't get cloture either

[jtrockville]

4. Fine. Let it die. At least there'll be NO IMMUNITY.

[Roland99]

10. Ugh, I can't stand that he and senile Bunning are our Senators.

:-(

[Zynx]

12. Kentucky's a beautiful state. You really do deserve better.

[TwilightGardener]

2. Good stuff.

[VP505]

3. Damn I hate

to see them do an extension. We will have to fight immunity again when the extension expires. Now would be a great time to re-introduce the Judiciary version and go for broke, if * veto's it, so be it, let him do without a FISA Bill.

[PassingFair]

6. We will have to be vigilant.

Thank goodness there's a presidential campaign at stake,
or the bastards would have passed this without a second
thought.

5. Bush: fuck national security, I'll veto anything that doesn't protect my telecom friends n/t

[sam sarrha]

7. after the election we will take them to criminal court, no pardons

[Rex]

8. There are war trials to be held, no one can deny it.

Apparent criminality is just that.

[robbedvoter]

9. Yesss!

[Lint Head]

11. Bush said he would veto an extension. Hey, criminal traitor

Bush, go ahead and veto it you ignorant piece of crap. :dem:

[still_one]

13. You can be sure he will bring it up in his SOTU speech tonight

The important thing for the Congressional leaders to remember is that the DEMOCRATS should NOT ACT LIKE A MINORITY PARTY ANYMORE

Phone or email your opinion, and thank them for respect for standing law in this manner.

15. Thank you, Chris Dodd

This wouldn't have happened without his leadership.

17. The foundations of the next Senate Majority Leader!

That hopefully be put in place SOONER rather than later! So we can start holding this administration accountable for the damage they've been wreaking on us.

I just got a "Democratic Poll" from Harry Reid, which of course also asked for donations to the DSCC (I think it was the DSCC). I told them of course $0 was being donated, and also added *two* "other" priorities for them that of course also wasn't on his list (getting rid of corporate power in government and impeachment).

What WAS interesting was to see the envelope that had the postage already on it. Apparently, what I and other have been doing in sending these back with no money and them paying for the postage of such is having an effect! There was a message asking for us to put a stamp on the envelope over the prepaid postage symbol on the envelope to help them save costs. AHHH! So it IS COSTING THEM MONEY when we send this stuff back! Keep doing it! Send EVERY letter from the DCCC and DSCC back with no money and with THEIR postage on it. The more we do it, hopefully the sooner they will get the message that they aren't doing their job!

16. way to go Congress! I am happy for the US n/t

[MzNov]

18. Whoever put insta-spine in Harry's cereal,

I want to say thanks! Keep up the good work.

19. FAR OUT FANTASTIC

The Democrats stood up to Bush and his fascist legislative caucus and Democrats won!!!!! They didn't cave this time!!! Finally!!! I'm so excited!!!

Hang tough guys. Demand a good bill or no bill at all, no matter what the GOP does.

WAY TO GO DEMOCRATS

20. can we get a breakdown on votes?

I'd like to think my senator voted the way I asked him to. That would be the Honorable Bill Nelson Florida (sometimes a rino)

[creeksneakers2]

21. At the link

In the end, four Dems crossed over to vote with the Republicans: Sens. Mark Pryor (D-AR), Ben Nelson (D-NE), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) and Mary Landrieu (D-LA). Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) was the lone Republican to vote with the Dems.
