Yep - Claire is helpful. nt DURHAM D Feb 2021 #32

Thanks. If people are allowed to insist on changes in the house presentation, spooky3 Feb 2021 #45

Good question. Leahy isn't very clear. jalan48 Feb 2021 #6

The Senators on the floor know what's going on StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #33

Schumer had to take over and clear things up. jalan48 Feb 2021 #34

handling the spat on the floor was his responsibility bigtree Feb 2021 #79

Mike Lee... Lars39 Feb 2021 #8

He was listening to the parliamentarian who rules on the issue Lee raised. Irish_Dem Feb 2021 #9

Correct. TwilightZone Feb 2021 #24

Typical though still_one Feb 2021 #28

It is. TwilightZone Feb 2021 #31

and I get pissed off also by people jumping to conclusions without fully knowing what is going on, still_one Feb 2021 #39

Well he did look confused and uncertain. But he is not familiar with this situation and the Irish_Dem Feb 2021 #41

Yes, I know. TwilightZone Feb 2021 #46

I know, it was almost comical, making a dementia dx based upon a few words and questions Irish_Dem Feb 2021 #50

It is a TOTALLY irrelevant issue DonaldsRump Feb 2021 #14

LOL. Raskin just said, "Ok, we'll withdraw it for now. Not a big deal" StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #37

Weird. Mike Lee is probably terrified of Trump. DonaldsRump Feb 2021 #43

He freaked out over a reference to a news story that's already been reported and is still out there StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #48

they are explaining now on MSNBC, so I think he does know, even through he looked confused Celerity Feb 2021 #15

He doesn't seem healthy at all. Buckeye_Democrat Feb 2021 #16

Can't they just tell Lee, if he wants to be a witness, then lets take a vote on calling witnesses? halobeam Feb 2021 #19

Hardly his fault, no one really understood what was going on. bottomofthehill Feb 2021 #21

Claire McCaskill instantly knew, she is brilliant. Damn shame she is from RW peckerwood MO, as she Celerity Feb 2021 #35

She's fabulous as a commentator, though, so there is a silver lining for us. nt spooky3 Feb 2021 #49

repubs threw him a curve that was against the rules, I believe... Wounded Bear Feb 2021 #22

According to Claire McCaskill, Leahy doesn't have the power to decide whether The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2021 #23

I love that Raskin said, "Ok. We'll withdraw it." Lee made a fool of himself over nothing. StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #42

You're right, it was Raskin who withdrew, didn't catch the whole thing quite clearly. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2021 #61

Exactly StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #63

Yes, he does StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #25

I wonder if Lee retracted his objection BlueIdaho Feb 2021 #26

oh so true there! halobeam Feb 2021 #30

He didn't retract it. Raskin withdrew the reference he was objecting to StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #44

So Raskin threw shade on Lee? BlueIdaho Feb 2021 #72

Yup StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #73

He looked like a man desperate to stay off Trump's shit list. nt. BlueIdaho Feb 2021 #75

Lee played himself StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #47

I just hope it doesn't open the door for another GOP strategy - to raise zillions of spooky3 Feb 2021 #51

I don't think it will. They shot him down pretty swiftly StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #65

The fact that Lee reacted the way he did BumRushDaShow Feb 2021 #52

He sure showed a soft underbelly, didn't he? StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #66

Looking at the rough transcript BumRushDaShow Feb 2021 #74

The parlimentarian is calling all the shots DeminPennswoods Feb 2021 #53

I wouldn't say she's calling the shots. Leahy as the presiding officer is StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #64

That's a polite way to put it. DeminPennswoods Feb 2021 #67

you know well that the parliamentarian makes the decision and the chair basically just reads it bigtree Feb 2021 #80

That's exactly what Claire McCaskill said. Leahy doesn't Greybnk48 Feb 2021 #68
