If Lee is already filibustering it, what does it matter what Rand does?

strength in numbers... I am not sure of the rules, but if Mike Lee does it alone, does that mean that only he can speak for 12 hours? but if the both do it, then can the both speak on the floor of the senate for 12 hours? (or whatever the time is)

[specsaregood]

Uhm, can more than one Senator filibuster at the same time?

Only one senator can hold the floor at a time. If Lee is filibustering, I'm sure he will cede time for Rand to speak.

[eduardo89]

even if they fillibuster, theres definitely 60 votes to pass this legislation...

[Jdayh]

even if they filibuster, there's definitely 60 votes to pass this legislation...

Calm down man. Mike Lee and Rand will do everything they can, but in the end they are only 2 of 100.

[musicmax]

Do you want a visit from Homeland Security?

Do you want to keep fellating Ben Bernanke? Oh wait, your name's Bruno - I guess that answers my question.

I see his point though. I too am really pissed I have to sit on my hands as the masses applaud a "super-committee" simply because it has the word "super" in it. I feel like I live in Rome. Towards the end.

[reduen]

Senator Ayotte from New Hampshire seems to be on our side...

[Jdayh]

Calm down man. Mike Lee and Rand will do everything they can, but in the end they are only 2 of 100.

CALM DOWN ???? CALM DOWN??? I DON'T THINK SO!! Maybe you can stay calm... all the rest of your life ...as the power whores keep ripping us off and stealing our rights to a Constitutional government...BUT I CANT ...I WONT!! Maybe you should get up off your ass and make some phone calls to the entire Senate. 100 phone calls! Maybe after you here yourself say out loud 100 times how they are attempting to steal our voice with this super congress crap, you will finally realize the time to calm down left the building!

here is the link to the entire Senate.... have at it!!

How clever. A **** joke. Nice. I guess because some actor deciding to create a charachter around a nickname i have had for 25 years means I want to have relations with Bernanke, huh?

I was referring to his mention of shooting - not how we want to represent the movement.

[reduen]

Mike Lee up now...

[reduen]

I thought that Mike Lee was going to fillibuster?

[angelatc]

The news says that he backed down, admitting that they Senate had the 60 votes they need to break it. :(

yes...unfortunately... he apparently backed down.. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/sports/52299918-90/vote-lee-plan-caucus.html.csp


but..Rand still may do it.. I called his office again.. he has not decided yet ... and I told them point blank ,what in the hell does he need?? food, coffee delivered? WHAT?? I asked them to find out what he needs to make this decision. Keep calling!! They said that they just got the bill last night, and have not even read it yet!!! I SAID THEN HAVE HIM READ THE ENTIRE BILL ON THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE!! That will buy us time to flood the phones of the rest of the senate!!

Yeah, how dare we compare ourselves to real freedom fighters like the ones who founded the country. Or the ones in Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, etc.

Back to your pillow fight fantasies, Sacha.

[Jdayh]

..

[Bruno]

Yeah, he should read the bill i hasn't been available for the promised three day review period.

[brushfire]

The bigger issue, in my mind, would be if Rand voted yes to end the filibuster.

[cucucachu0000]

Just made my call to paul.... first time calling a politician. This whole political activism thing is way better than being helpless.

Are you from KY? If not, why not call your senator?

I dunno, the Tea Party is literally being called terrorists, hostage takers, extremists... nobody is in their right mind, well almost nobody. Great time to get big things done!
