Senate to be in Session all Night

by trs92, Tue Jul 17, 2007 at 08:59:38 AM EST

Just a brief update to say that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has announced that he will keep the Senate in session all night Tuesday and into Wednesday to bring attention to the Iraq vote. Workers will set up cots outside the Chamber for Senators to sleep on in between votes. Although even this extreme step will not garner enough votes to pass the bill, it certainly is interesting and attention-getting! Hopefully it will get enough attention to eventually make some progress and allow the Senate to pass a good bill.

Dems already losing (none / 0)

Dems have already lost this in the MSM.  On CNN every time they mentioned this it was followed by something along the lines "Political stunt" and "not enough votes".  I hope that somehow the message does reach the voters.

Reid is also doing this to piss off obstructionist Republicans... Encourage them to do more instead of nothing.  If nothing changes, we'll see more of this.

Let's send an escort for Sen Vitter (none / 0)

He's lonely.  No babes there, except Hillary and that foxy Lisa from Alaska.  But they are not the frisky type, so what's a over-sexed Senator to do?

He needs an escort.
