Democratic Senators Speak to the Filibuster
The Senate hearings are live now on C-Span2. Sen. Patrick Leahy is speaking right now. You can watch on the Internet here. Feel free to use the comments to live-blog the action along with your comments.
Sen. Russ Feingold made this statement on the Senate Floor yesterday. Sen. Harry Reid's speech is reproduced here.
Think Progress reports that Republican Senator Bill Frist imploded on the Senate Floor today when Sen. Schumer asked him a simple question about a filibuster he participated in five years ago. TP says Frist's tortured response undermines his entire argument for the nuclear option.
I'll be participating in a small conference call with Sen. Chuck Schumer at 12:10 ET. If you have any suggestions for questions to ask him, you can leave them in the comments.
