UPDATE: C-SPAN's announcer lady just said they should start on the unemployment benefits extension around 5:30 pm, and the Janet Yellen thing would come after that.

Can we expect Rand to talk about his economic freedom zones?

Yellen thinks unrestrained consumer spending is the way to prosperity. SMH. That ought to disqualify her right there, except 70% of the cretins on the Hill agree with her.

Is rand filibustering the nomination? Will this require 60 votes to confirm her?

Harry Reid abolished the filibuster.

Yellen just said the supports full transparency but opposes an audit of any form. I can't believe there are people who believe this crap.

Rand should speak until he can no longer speak.

Rand should speak until he can no longer speak.

It would be great publicity to watch Harry Reid have him tasered and drug off the floor...

 

[UtahApocalypse]

I would love to see Rand actually start a REAL filibuster. Just start speaking and not stop. What would Reid do have the Police escort him out?

I wouldn't put it past him, would you? Don't get me wrong, I'm not discouraging it, it would in fact be great publicity. Mind you, if that was going to happen I'd rather it happen around an issue that people will grasp better than the Federal Reserve Chair.

 

[compromise]

Where is he? Inhofe just gave a speech.

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

Is Rand on yet?

WHat's up with all the ad infinitum quorum calls? Are the Republicans playing a delaying action because Rand's flight is late or something?

 

[Mr.NoSmile]

According to Paul's Facebook page, his flight was delayed. Given the inclement weather and amount of flight delays and cancellations already, can't say I'm surprised.

Yellen is confirmed by 51-27 so far
