Minutes ago, Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid asked for unanimous consent to move to a vote on the Levin-Reed amendment to effectively end the occupation. Sen. Minority Whip Trent Lott objected, and the filibuster continues.
Reid admonished the obstructionists: \”The time for speeches has ended … we want some votes.\”
Since conservatives surely want everyone to know about their glorious obstructing of the public will, be sure to watch the action on C-Span 2.
UPDATE (4:05 PM ET): Lott insisted that Republicans were \”ready to vote.\” Minutes later, Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin repeated Reid\’s request for unanimous consent to move to a vote, and Lott — sans shame — objected again.
