That's my understanding, anyway.
If you have even 10% understanding right now, my hat is off to you. Well, I'm not wearing a hat. My hair clippy thing is off to you. I'm Googling like I mean it and reading and listening to the proceedings but I have almost no clue exactly what is going on. I know the outcome matters, but I am kinda lost on the proceedings.
edit: There are over 125,000 people watching this. Someone needs to explain it to me. Also who is the woman next to Hegar?
She's a lawyer, apparently. I think?
Oh my god this is MADNESS.
The chair ended the filibuster but Watson (a supporter) is calling for the end of the filibuster to be put to a vote. And now I've lost track of what question they were voting on when the gallery erupted.
No way in hell they're ramming this through in five minutes.
She's a lawyer, apparently. I think?
I'd assume that. I am intrigued to know who she is by name or organization since she seems like a bit of a puppet master at times.
The gallery is running out the clock but I am not sure they are getting the actual ending they intend. Hopefully this will have political ramifications on all sides in the next elections. People can disagree, but in a democracy (and republic), we vote.
The Supreme Court and Paula Deene and Anne Rice make me tired and sad about the whole damn country.
Very much this.
I am also among the migraine sufferers, or was earlier. Not going to work wasn't a real option today, or even not working a full day, but I got to work at home until 10:00 or so, which meant that my puking took place at home.
yay?
opefully this will have political ramifications on all sides in the next elections. People can disagree, but in a democracy (and republic), we vote.
I think Twitter is going to collectively pass out from rage. I may join them in that.
I agree, Jilli. I couldn't watch it because my anxiety levels were shooting through the roof. But the last minute vote after midnight (against the rules) is making me apoplectic. I'm ready to cash out and go to Paris or some shit.
Yeah, I need to stop looking at the internet for the night, because my head may explode.
I want to go to bed and I can't. I'm glued to media as if something is going to be resolved in the next fifteen minutes.
