I just turned CSPAN2 on. Reid is talking about a variety of other things. Waiting for the bill to come up.
We can post here if everyone wants to.

Specter on the floor.
Same old arguement . . . status quo or this ridculous bill.
We have chaos and anarchy in our present law . . .
He's still spewing muck, trying to shove this crap down our throats.
Trying to make his case that they should pass this bill.
I am so tired of hearing that we either have to put up with the status quo or accept this bill. Apparently enforcing the laws and securing our borders is not an option to these rockheads.
Specter just called those against the bill obstructionest, but quickly withdrew the comment and changed the language to something a little milder.
Specter saying there are 25 amendments to be introduced.
Trying to get time agreements for debating amendments.
If they can't agree to time limits on debate, both sides will table all the amendments.
Uh oh, betcha this is where this thing dies because the opponents of this bill says they are going to pull out all the stops to kill this thing.
Just my opinion.
Things are sounding good for the home team. Even Specter is degrading the procedure. Obviously the Republicans and Democrats had a falling out last night on the way to proceed. That is my interpretation anyway - hope I'm right. :wink:
Reid is allowing morning business until 11:30, then debate the bill.
Time split between Kennedy and Specter. They can dole out this time to whoever they want to.
Reid is defending the process and said there are no tricks being played here.
kennedy on the floor. Where is he getting his information? Saying the American people want action on this bill.
Yeah, Teddy, we want it booted.
