Democrats Force ‘Real’ Filibuster on Iraq« Thread Started on Jul 17, 2007, 7:31pm » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Democrats Force ‘Real’ Filibuster on IraqJames Joyner | Tuesday, July 17, 2007 read at source> http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archiv ... wal/Senate Democrats have decided to force Republicans to actually debate non-stop if they want to kill a bill that would force withdrawal from Iraq. Senate Democrats refused to flinch Tuesday as the chamber moved toward a rare, all-night session of debate on legislation to bring troops home this fall. They called for sleeping cots to be rolled into a room off the Senate floor and told members to prepare for repeated votes throughout the evening. Senators even left open the possibility of dispatching the sergeant at arms to summon colleagues from their homes to the floor if lawmakers ignored the debate.
