US Senate Pictures Gallery

Advanced Photoshop Pictures Gallery - 7 image entries

Contest Directions: It's been a long time since there has been an actual Filibuster in the US Senate. Use your imagination to create the sort of Filibuster (debate, fight) you'd like to see.... Note: A "Filibuster" is the term used for an extended debate in the US Senate which has the effect of preventing a vote. Senate rules contain no motion to force a vote. A vote occurs only once debate ends. The term comes from the early 19th century Spanish and Portuguese pirates, "filibusteros", who held ships hostage for ransom. Tags: senate

Kofi Annan Swordfight

George Bush Judo

Very long debate

Although Bush and his companions, Rumsfeld and Powell, hadn't said anything anymore for the past three weeks, their 4 month Filibuster continues until they sit down and loose their right to speak. Until then, they will be granted the right to share their opinion about the need of child-proof caps on liquor bottles.
