On the Senate floor, Senator Reid (Assistant Minority Leader) began speaking at 1:15 (marking time now as 8:06) to illustrate what he considers wasting time. It is apparently a classic filibuster. We hear of rabbits, cactus, and how the town of Searchlight got its name. Intermittently, the question of getting votes to the floor is discussed. He reads from a book, reporting that a woman has asked in email that he read more slowly.
I post this not in regard to the judgeships being discussed, but rather just to relate that this is Americana in play, and very interesting if you can tune in .. and we can talk about the process and content anon.
Sending best wishes and promising some wit and humor is coming over the airways, :) LDMF. (Attempting to tape).
