Forcing his Republican colleagues to put up or shut up on the notion of an up-or-down vote, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid (D-NV) just moments ago announced that he will immediately file a cloture motion on the Reed-Levin troop redeployment bill and, if Republicans follow through with a filibuster, will place the Senate in a prolonged all-night session Tuesday to force a true continuation of debate.
"Now, Republicans are using a filibuster to block us from even voting on an amendment that could bring the war to a responsible end," said Reid. "They are protecting the President rather than protecting our troops. They are denying us an up or down – yes or no – vote on the most important issue our country faces."
Wow Reid must be reading blogs! Go get them Harry!
I was watching CNN and I saw them carrying in all of these really uncomfortable looking folding cots into the chambers for them to sleep on.
There are going to be some Senators with some serious back problems tomorrow! Good, it is about time they suffered a little too!
