MSNBC is now broadcasting Countdown three times a night: once live at 8:00 p.m. ET, then two hours after that, then two hours after that.

I am so glad. Keith reaching that many more homes! Hopefully Countdown will suffer something like Law & Order.

This just in.

I'd just gotten settled in for the continuation of Kyle Sampson's testimony in front of the Judiciary Committee, when Sen. Leahy announced that the Republicans had objected to the hearings taking place while the Senate is in session. So, following Senate rules, he recessed the hearing (but did not adjourn).

I don't see how this turns out well for the Republicans, to halt testimony that was being given voluntarily.

The MSNBC article referenced above states that the rule used was "rarely invoked." More here at DailyKos.
