Menendez to support filibuster

by: Juan Melli

Sat Jan 28, 2006 at 05:51:31 PM EST



We hear that Senator Bob Menendez will be supporting an effort to filibuster Alito. Call his office to let him know we're behind him, and call Lautenberg's office to encourage him to join the filibuster.

Sen. Bob Menendez: (202) 224-4744
Sen. Frank Lautenberg: (202) 224-3224

what's the word on lautenberg? (0.00 / 0)
i've called his office, but got no real response to my question about his position.  anyone else know?

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.
