Thread: Senate On The Floor!!

Vitter is b slappin' Reid, the process and the quashing of amendments.

Vitter talking and said all amendments weren't allowed by him, Cornyn, Sessions, Dole and DeMint. May have missed a name.
He had heard the senate was known for open debate which he hasn't seen with this bill.
Absolutely disapproves of this bill!
Says he feels railroaded and treated unfair.

This is unbelievable...over 1,000 pages of amendments there is no way to absorb all of this in the time frame they have... Vitter is tearing them a new one....exposing this billl for what it is....a travesty

Yep, Vitter has been one of the real solid senators on the subject.

Don't change a thing senator - go!

Also - don't forget that Louisiana's other senator Landrieu (D-LA) has been pretty good lately too. Don't forget to give her some nice positive reinforcement to keep doing the right thing too.

Amazing that some of these Senators don't even know what exactly is in the bill, how can ANY of these guys vote for something that they really don't know what they are voting on?

This is a republic? Is this really the way our forefathers had imagined the legislative process? Is this constitutionally legal?

Reid has made some bitter Senators.

You should hear Vitter going on.

No amendments for Sessions, DeMint, Cornyn, Vitter, Dole...

Reid sellected no amendments for consideration from the opponents of this bill.

"Railroading all the strong opponents of the bill."

Heck, it's worth considering a move down to 'bama...even with all that humidity!

I LOVE SESSIONS!!!

Vitter's speech about what he see's in the Senate today is not anything like the great Senate he heard about before he moved there. He thought the Senate was about endless debate and amendment. He said he is suprised that he can even get a chance to talk without being handed a script from Reid showing what he has to say.

Vitter just spoke what each of us are feeling right now.

I know he is awesome. He is saying- there are no Demint amendents here, there are no Vitter, Sessions, Dole and Cornyn amendments. He is calling them right out for the sneaky slimes that they are.

Keep calling and faxing- we will win!

He said he's one of the newer Senators, having come from the House. He's always heard that the Senate encouraged completely open and unimpeded debate but when he came to work today he feels that "I came in through the wrong door."
