Did they just force a 2hr debate!!!

[insane_cratic_gal]

Did i just see spector talk about that?

Boxer did sign. I don't know who else.

but it's not 5 mins it's 2 hours?

Did i see that right on Cspan?

[mhr]

1. Which C-span Channel?

eom

[bemis12]

2. Any debate would be for two hours.

That's the procedure. But it's limited to 5 minutes per speaker.

[Walt Starr]

3. 5 minutes per Senator

Two hours maximum debate time.

[Pirate Smile]

5. Someone said Harry Reid said the debate will take 25 minutes or so -

So does that mean there is Boxer plus 4 others? Sounds like it.

6. Yep, that would be only 5 sneators speaking.

Both sides get up to twelve senators to speak. Teh Republicans will probably forgo debate.

[bush_is_wacko]

11. You've got to be kidding me

Why would the Republican's forgo debate? They are going to be screaming fowl at the top of their lungs, don't you think?

14. To male it end quicker

I imagine the Republican strategy is going to be, "This is not worthy of debate."

[Walt Starr]

16. To get it over quickly

My guess is, most of the Republicans don't have a clue at what's in Conterys' report. They may be taken completely by surprise.

4. I danced

All the way up the stairs too!

it was just plain old cspan .. I was watching it on TV

so 1? I only caught the tail end of spector saying due to the nature of the senstive matter. The i saw them pop something on the screen
2 hour debate session

[rodeodance]

7. 2 hour debate for WHAT?

[BeFree]

10. For What?

To dance on the heads of the people who stole our votes, that's what.

Those Two hours will last forever, if indeed the dance is done. It will forever be known as the People's Rodeo; our cowboys riding the bucking repukes asses back into the hellhole barn from whence they came.

[Twist_U_Up]

13. Yeeee Haaaawww lol

ride em cowboy

[Orsino]

8. What Can the Rs Do...

...to run out the clock, or otherwise to bury the challenge?

[theboss]

12. Just sit back and wait for it to end

By 4 o'clock or so, Bush is going to be certified the winner regardless of what happens in the debate.

[signmike]

9. Isn't it 5 min. per person w/evidence? = up to 2 hrs?

Not necessarily senators/representatives?

And does that mean 12 for each side?

[bemis12]

18. The law says

Members. That pretty much limits it to senators and reps.

[drummer55]

15. Reframe!

stop looking at it from the point of view of the winner or the loser.

Look at it from the point of view of the voter!

Any challenge is a success! The MSM can not ignore this historic event. All of our collective evidence will now be spotlighted by this event!

17. Exactly right - but before the user foo_bar invalidates your post w/ a

spelling lesson, that's 'Gandhi'.

19. You would think that something this important....

....would warrant more than a measly 2hrs. (Or 5mins per person) :shrug:

20. The Hearings don't start until 1:00 p.m. Are you sure you're not

confusing this with the Attorney General Hearings?
