launtenberg upstaged by the junior senator (0.00 / 0)

hard to believe that lautenberg was not the one to announce this.  bold move for menendez, and he absolutely should be thanked.

cheers --

What's with Lautenberg? (0.00 / 0)

I tried to get a definite answer from Lautenberg's office on Friday.  I asked if they are keeping a call count and didn't get an answer. I asked if he planned to vote NO and didn't get an answer. I asked if they could tell me anything at all!  I was told that he would make a speech on Monday night / Tuesday morning.  Excuse me?  But that is after the colture vote at 4:30PM on Monday so what good is the speech?

Where did you hear about Menendez filibustering? (0.00 / 0)

I did a Google search and could not find this reported anywhere.

It is wonderful if it is true, especially for me, because it means that I can relax, stop harping on him, and just let him do his work (until the next time that he casts a vote that pisses me off, which will probably come when they vote on the Patriot Act reauthorization - but a week or so of rest would be nice).

I just called the office and they are denying this. (4.00 / 1)

Menendez is not yet supporting the filibuster.

Lautenberg's office (0.00 / 0)

I just called- now, his office says they are keeping a call count: 75% for the filibuster, 25% against. They also stated again that the Senator has not made up his mind on how to vote.
