4. Done.

3. If I'm not mistaken....

they are going to cover the Senate debate on Rice. Which they HAVE to do. C-SPAN2 covers every second of the Senate.

5. That was my understanding too. n/t

9. Correct. Senators are speaking about a number of cabinet nominations

right now and C-SPAN2 is obliged to cover it.

Don't bother complaining to C-SPAN. They spent all day so far covering the protesters. Now that the Senate's in session there will be speeches regarding these cabinet nominations, including the Rice nomination, and it may even be more interesting than the coverage over the past two days, as this is the full Senate.

12. Senators Byrd, Boxer, Kennedy are getting ready to speak.

6. The Rice confirmation hearings ended yesterday

I'm disappointed that Cspan couldn't
keep covering the protests through the
"parade".

[realFedUp]

7. Is there even a full Senate today?

Seems fishy to hold these hearings
while everyone's supposedly doing
other stuff today.

[tx_dem41]

11. Ummm...where did I say anything about hearings?

Weren't you following the news yesterday? There is a Senate session today.

[realFedUp]

8. Harkin and Dayton on today

Margaret Spellings confirmation coming up
after debate. This seems weird to have
these going on today.

[realFedUp]

10. McConnell wants to get confirmation vote on Rice today...

Reid says the debate will take longer...
maybe next Wed the vote will come up.

13. that was amazingly fucked up timing

:wtf:
