Sampson hearing stopped by GOP procedural move
MSNBC just reported on-air (no internet story yet) that the Sampson hearing has been stopped by a Republican procedural move.
Apparently members can object after a certain number of hours if a hearing is proceeding while the full Senate is in session. Bizarre.
UPDATE 11:44 PDT: MSNBC just reported, again on-air, that the hearings have resumed. Not truly clear at this point what that was all about.
UPDATE II, 2:27 PM PDT-- C-SPAN is now showing the hearing on its main channel.
UPDATE III, 2:40 PM PDT--The hearing is recessed for the day and viewers of the main C-SPAN channel didn't get to see much at all. C-SPAN says on -air that the hearing will be replayed on the main channel in its entirety starting at 5PM PDT.
