Democrat senators are only a few hours into their Capitol Hill sleepover, dubbed “Up4Climate,” but the mockery is in full swing.
Only liberals are able to stay #Up4Climate because everyone else needs to be #Up4Work tomorrow.

— David Freddoso (@freddoso) March 11, 2014Democrats care so much about the climate, they're burning an extra day's worth of electricity as a PR stunt. #Up4Climate

Senate holds global warming all-nighter: Senate Democrats will talk about the importance of addressing global warming until 9 a.m. Tuesday. But the issue is fraught with difficulties for four Democrats who won't appear.
Twenty-eight Democrats and two left-leaning Independents, including Senate majority leader Harry Reid of Nevada and his top lieutenants, are scheduled to speak in shifts until about 9 a.m. Tuesday. The event is not a filibuster, nor is it related to any legislation. The intent is to urge a divided Congress and nation to “wake up” on this issue.
Some notable Democrats, however, are no-shows: Mark Begich of Alaska, Kay Hagan of North Carolina, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, and Mark Pryor of Arkansas. It’s not that they want their shut-eye. It’s that they want to win their very competitive races come November.
◼ You see, the senators chattered about global warming nonsense. Why? Evidently just to hear themselves and smugly pat themselves on the back or something. They didn’t offer any legislation. Actual thinkies are hard! - Twitchy
For pillow fights and truth-or-dare MT @marthamaccallum Dems up all night in Congress on global warming, but not pushing any legislation?
