Maine Senate - Forums & Discussions

So how do you see things shaping up for the next several months in the Senate?

Do Arizona Democrats Have A Good US Senate Candidate This Year?

OT - RSS feed for Ottawa Senators forum?

What's your opinion on the Senate filibuster rule?

I feel that it is a great and useful rule that helps keep the senate honest. I also feel that if they're going to threaten to filibuster, they damn well better do it. Stand up and speak, and don't yield the floor for hours at a time, just like Strom Thurmond did for over 24 hours when he didn't want those uppity darkies to have an easy time voting. source
