Republicons reject meetings???

[thecrow]

:wtf:

[mmonk]

1. What's a reject meeting?

[thecrow]

Perhaps I should say OBJECT

The "Senate Rules" say they can object?
So they can stop the meetings?
WTF is happening?

[steve2470]

2. anyone have a clue what will happen ? nt

[babylonsister]

3. After 4 hours, GOP ends questioning. WTF indeed; guess they didn't

like where it was going.

[mod mom]

6. Grassley appeared confused as it was during his time.

[Donnachaidh]

4. NOW who is OBSTRUCTING Justice?

WTF just went down?

[Chimichurri]

5. Good. Show the American people how you still love to protect Bush

at the expense of justice.

It'll be 50 years before republicans take control again.

7. They still think they're in charge ...

and use every trick they can to roadblock the Dems. :nuke:

[thecrow]

8. okay so they are waiting for the Senate to quit

I bet they start a filibuster of sorts to block the meetings.
what do you think?

[SaveOurDemocracy]

12. They'll say they're satisfied with the answers ...

...and the Dems are now on a witch hunt. They like to pretend their concern so it won't look so obvious when they undermine the effort. My senator Arlen Specter is a master at this ploy.

The ReThugs don't serve this country or it's people ... they only serve their party and their bank accounts.

9. according to C-Span, it's because the Senate was in session ? nt

[blogslut]

10. That's what I understand

Senate is in session - meetings in temporary recess.

[LiberalHeart]

13. Ah, that's way different than the way MSNBC was reporting it.

[Duer 157099]

11. The "I can't be in two places at once" excuse??

Oh. Well, I guess that's ok.

[Critters2]

14. What? Can someone explain what happened to a poor soul stuck in her office?

Thanks!

[thecrow]

16. The Commitee stopped its hearings because

some REPUBIC-CON objected "underSenate Rules" that
the meeting could not be held while the Senate was in session.

[Critters2]

19. So they'll have to start up again when the Senate is no longer in session?

Is that right?

When will that be?

[napi21]

20. In the middle of the hearing, during Grassley's questioning, Leahy

interrupted and said he was sorry, but he just got word that the Repugsin the Senate have objected to holding the hearing while the SEnate was in session. He said he will NOT adjourn, but will resume the hearing when the Senate adjourns for the day!

Apparently this is a little used rule, but still one of the Senate rules that Hearings can be suspended if the Wenate is in Session!

[Critters2]

23. So it'll start up again tonight?! Hey! I have no meetings tonight!

I could actually see it...quick walk with the beag, heat up some soup and a sandwich, and hunker down to see some Repugs sweatin' under the kleig lights! The perfect way to end a day!!

[thecrow]

15. Who was the person who objected??

[Critters2]

21. From the threads, it looks like it was Grassley, though I'm not watching the actual hearings. nt

[TahitiNut]

17. Isn't it fascinating how the GOP can continue to control the agenda ...

... even when in thi minority? Poor, poor, helpless Dems just can't seem to do anything. :eyes:

[thecrow]

18. They should stop the Senate then and show who's boss

[TahitiNut]

22. But, but, but ... someone might call them names.

:eyes:

[Critters2]

24. LOL!!! nt

[SaveOurDemocracy]

25. I'd love it if the Dems used the interruption to...

continue the hearing into the upcomming recess ... the ReThugs would be sputtering and turning blue. :rofl:
