That is why we need to change that stupid 'rule'.

[Theodore R.]

The article by Helms seemed reconciled to the view that few conservatives are likely to be appointed or confirmed by the Senate in the next few years.

[mainepatsfan]

I wonder how long he can go without an appearance on a Sunday talk show before he breaks out in a rash?

[ken21]

'cuz biden cheated in school, and scalia did not?

[A Navy Vet]

Beat me to it.

They all have big heads but I think Biden tops them all.

Biden insisted that his about-face on Scalia had nothing to do with the justice's conservative views. "I would oppose him because of his methodology, the way he interprets the Constitution," he explained.

And that has nothing to do with conservative views?

Scalia "thinks there are no such thing as unenumerated rights in the Constitution...

Biden and his party would just be up a dead end if
it weren't for "unenumerated rights".

Go Scalia!

[Road Warrior ‘04]

You don't mean "anti-everything" Joe "Crazy" Biden do you? What a surprise!

[mainepatsfan]

There are 100 U.S. senators and yet how many appear on the Sunday talk shows during the year? A dozen maybe?

[leftofright]

I think Neil Kinnock said it best when he said . . .

How can anyone take Biden seriously? Guy has a galaxy of great British orators from whom to choose -- Disraeli, Churchill, Thatcher -- and he copies the words of a yutz like Kinnock.

[Miss Behave]

LOL. You are too funny. Thanks, Ski.

[rocksblues]

Is there a Dem with a bigger ego than Biden?

I don't know but I do know that their is nobody more stupid!

[montag813]

The 'Rats will never stop their obstructionism, that's why we need to get to 60 seats.

the Constitution says "advise and consent", not "filibuster and derail". Frist should do whatever is neccessary to bring all nominees directly to the floor for a limited debate and vote, with no filibusters (which are not in the Constitution) permitted.

[Non-Sequitur]

Helms said that we can't stop filibusters on judicial nominees and retain it on other matters, but I don't know whey we could not.

Because you can't say a Senate rule is illegal under one set of circumstances and legal under another.

[Petronski]

I love the "paved-in-place elastic layer." It will give Biden the advantage if hand-to-hand combat breaks out on the Senate floor.

[mainepatsfan]

Dumber than Boxer?

[NorCalRepub]

only Hitlery and Howie Dean.......

[carlr]

Well the late Senator Thurmond called his "ranking member" Biden the "best candidate" that the Democrats had when Biden made his silly presidential run in 1988.

I remember that.It was during a confirmation hearing although I don`t remember whose.Biden returned to the committee after his withdrawal statement.Sen Thurmond said the dems had lost the most articulate spokesman that was among those running for President.

Amendment XIV:
Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

This was passed during Reconstruction to eliminate any future attempts at secession or to exert state sovereignty. It has been used by judicial activists to justify such things as personal privacy and as a result everything else that this nonexistent "right" contains.
