OMG, the Repukes had the hearing stopped!!

[jojo54]

They're getting their asses kicked in this one and now they're crying foul.

The hearing has to stop until the Senate finishes their session. Then, I don't know what will happen.


Edited to add: The C-Span announcer just said something about a Senate committee hearing cannot take place during a Senate session. My question is, they've been in session for at least 2 hours, so why did they wait until now???? Have we caught the dog standing next to the pile of poop?

1. OMG!~II I can't believe it.....did you get what Sen. Leahy said?

I was listening and I heard him say he would follow Senate rules bla,bla,bla???????????????

3. It was not going well for the Repubs

It seemed as if the dems were prosecutors and the repubs were defense attorneys.

6. I agree with Leahy.

To NOT follow the Senate Rules, no matter how maddening they are, leaves Leahy and the whole process up to unnecessary ridicule and bad press. Best he follow the Rules -- unlike the Repugs -- and then get back to the Hearing at the appropriate time. Then one of two things will happen: either Sampson will continue digging himself in a deeper hole or he'll start pleading the 5th. Either way, it's great to watch.

2. This can only mean one thing to this skeptical son of a bitch

THEY DO HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE.

4. I think Sampson is doing a very good job of making a fool out of himself.

He's lying through his teeth, and it seems that even some of the Repub senators are not trying to cover it up.

5. Just a technical delay.

Technically the Re-Pubic-Rats are liars.

7. Me thinks the repukes wanted some time to "huddle". n/t

8. This has the smell of Mitch McConnell about it

According to the Senate rules, it's the minority leader who must consent to extending a hearing beyond 2 hours when the Sentate is in session.
