Discussion: Franken Knocks GOPers Open To Lame Duck Confirmation: It's 'Absurdity'

Uh I think you have that backwards. He rarely says much, therefore, when he does it really means something.

I don’t find what you said to make any logical sense

Alito’s confirmation was not filibustered. The Dems considered a filibuster, but it was voted down and his confirmation proceeded normally.

His history is bland, never taking risks, never saying much. A cipher.

Well according to that voice mail, Hall and Trump are pretty decent associates.

Considering the past few months, it seems like patent absurdity,
.
Apparently Repubicans are as comfortable with with the absurd, here in the 21st Century, as they were with hypocrisy.back in the 20th.

Patent absurdity? Only this Republican primary could exemplify that oxymoron.

Well, be fair. He doesn’t have to do ANYTHING to “make” the Republicans look like pathetic,lying,idiots. They do that on their own just fine.
He just has to point it out to the MSM who seem incapable of noticing or reporting on it.
Of course this is due to the old Upton Sinclair quote: ‘It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.’

Time for Sen. Franken to come out of the shadows.

I have lost track of the number of Republican stalling tactics that have flown back in their faces. They just cannot stop screwing up!

I think his political career is just a cover for him to do serious research for his next satire project.

I can’t wait until Hillary is elected and the following morning Obama retracts the Garland nomination. Much sputtering and profanity commences.

What is funny about it?

Republicans have zero sense of humor; no sense of irony; actually, no sense of any kind.

Thank you. Obama was one of 24 Dems and Independent who voted for a filibuster (including Biden, Clinton, Kerry, Reid), but other Dems shot it down. Alito was confirmed a few days later.

Ummm

Did Peter Boyle ever have a hand in creating a daughter like Kate Chase?

I just wonder why they don’t like this president. Could be only a matter of skin color. Nah nah, that could not be the reason. Them maby it is. So confusing.

LOL!!

The only thing the GOP had going for it were the 5 conservative justices on the supreme court. without that 5th vote they are going to have a harder time forcing their right wing ideology on Americans

“It’s gone from – even under their reasoning – from ‘Let the people decide’ … to ‘Let the people decide unless they decide on Hillary Clinton,’” he continued.

That’s the Republican M.O. Same thing in their primary process. Let the people decide, unless they decide on Donald Trump. Then we have to take it to the convention floor to let the elite decide.

Until Russ Feingold is re-elected, Al Franken is my favorite Senator.
