Filibuster Round 2

[supermario21]

Paul taking on Mitch right now this is beautiful.

 

[harikaried]

Wow. McConnell is going from June 9 to June 5 to June 3 to June 2.

 

[Jackie Moon]

LOL, keep goin Mitch

 

[RonPaulGeorge&Ringo]

McConnell asks for unanimous consent to un-sunsent for two days. Rand begins to object and then lets Udall object instead.

 

[Lightweis]

President Paul!

 

[RonPaulGeorge&Ringo]

McConnell asks for one-day unsunsetting of patriot 215... Rand begins to object but then the parliamentarian (?) starts telling McConnell something. Mcconnell suggests absence of a quorum, freezing the floor for a few moments.

I loved seeing Lindsey Graham roll his eyes in disgust in front of Rand when he was objecting!

 

[jaymur]

We've had 4 years to vote on this

Rand Paul holding up 4 fingers. Boom!

And I believe they are voting on cloture AGAIN ? Feinstein moved to suspend the rules and vote on "USA Freedom" the "reform" bill even though it didn't get 60 for cloture. Spounded ike Rubio objected and now they are voting on ... something?

Mic was live - could hear McConnell plotting

Mic was live - could hear McConnell plotting

Sounded like they said they were coming in Sunday, May 31st prior to expiration to try to get it passed. I wish they'd keep that dang mic on!

 

[garyallen59]

Heard something about reconvening Sunday 31st at noon

 

[specsaregood]

Mic was live - could hear McConnell plotting

yeah, just something about announcing that they were gonna come back on the 31st before expiration, then it got cut off.

 

[RonPaulGeorge&Ringo]

And now Mitch is announcing it from the floor. Senate back in session Sunday May 31 to renew "the program."

 

[ord33]

I bet they will all fold come May 31st. Rand will be one of the very few holding his ground. I can only imagine the neocons acting like the sky is falling and what Graham, McCain, and Peter King will have to say.

 

[afwjam]

traitor, McConnell is.

 

[supermario21]

The silly thing is that they're not even interested in amendments. Probably because they know Rand's would pass.

 

[Lightweis]

traitor, McConnell is.

He is pure evil.
