Rachel Maddow Yesterday

Did anyone listen to Rachel Maddow yesterday? She pointed out that when the Stem Cell bill reaches the Senate Frist may not allow an up or down vote on the bill. In addition, Senator Browback said he will filibuster the bill if debate is allowed on the bill.

Sen. Brownback (R-KS) on judicial filibusters:

But should no deal emerge to break the stalemate, the region's other Republican senators, Kit Bond and Jim Talent of Missouri, and Sam Brownback of Kansas all said they would back Frist <...>
Brownback pointed out that "we've been hung up now four years" on several of the nominees.

"There's no sign of it ending," Brownback said. "We're kind of at the end of the string. I don't know what else we can do" other than change the rules.

Brownback on stem cell research:

"We're going to do everything we can to stop it," said Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan. He vowed to mount a filibuster, which allows a minority of senators to block a vote on the measure.
Nice.
