How do you figure these are the good guys?

I guess it all depends on your perspective. If you hate America, freedom, and conservative judges then the White House is not your friend. Sorry if this opinion confuses you. Have a nice day.

[econ_grad]

They will be noncontroversial, but will strictly construe the constitution.

In this day and age, you cannot do both. What is their view on Lochner, Roe v Wade, affirmative action, etc?

[econ_grad]

The White House hardly is a friend of the Constitution.

The White House hardly is a friend of the Constitution.

3 solid conservative judges confirmed today, long overdue, but you can't celebrate. You can only attack Republicans. We know what side you're on FRiend.

[econ_grad]

3 solid conservatives? Hmmm...one of them have openly sold out (Pryor), the other guy has been one on the bench for 20 years without challenging the status quo (as is evidenced by Democrats not trying to block him). Don't know much about the third guy, but again since the Democrats raised no objection I am guessing he is amenable to their ideas.

[Liberty Valance]

''What a day,'' Pryor said. ''We even managed to get an opinion out.''

Dang, I already like this guy.

but again since the Democrats raised no objection I am guessing he is amenable to their ideas.

I already quoted this to you in post 12...''These three nominees have waited a combined total of over eight years for their votes,''...you're not too bright.

"We believe that under Article 2, Section 2 of the US Constitution the word advice speaks to consultation between the Senate and the president with regard to the use of the president's power to make nominations. We encourage the executive branch of government to consult with members of the Senate, both Democrat and Republican prior to submitting a judicial nomination to the Senate for consideration."

This is how the gang of 14 are attempting to usurp the Constitution. It's not reality. It certainly is no reason to celebrate the approval of the three judges.

[Southack]

"''I could not be more pleased and proud that Judge Bill Pryor was part of the group that were agreed upon by those members of the Senate to get an up-or-down vote,'' said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., whose own nomination as a federal judge the Senate Judiciary Committee rejected in 1986. ''Bill Pryor is the kind of judge America ought to have.''"

The above is worth reflecting upon. The Liberal-dominated Senate Judiciary Committee of 1986 rejected Jeff Sessions for being too Conservative...in retaliation, the Great State of Alabama rallied and returned him to Washington, D.C. as our very next Senator...where he now resides on that very same Senate Judiciary Committee.

Payback.

These Democratic Party stunts, such as filibustering Judge Pryor, Pickering, Owen, etc...are yet more reasons why the Heartland has thoroughly reversed the decades-old control that the Democratic Party once had in this region.

Likewise, the Democrats will lose Senate seats again in 2006...a trend that continues because the Democrats are offering nothing *positive* to most of the country.

[econ_grad]

You repeat someone else's comments verbatim. Makes you a White House parrot. Combined wait of 8 years? Sort of a disingenuous remark given that one person has waited longer than the other two. BTW, a 95-0 vote is solid endorsement that these two guys are party tools and will never be damning against the government. You are a tool and they are your brethren. I am bright enough to know not to be one.

[econ_grad]

Come on. Everyone in govt usurps the Constitution, except for a handful. It is a qualification to hold any govt position.

[Liberty Valance]

What you said.

[bayourod]

"these two guys are party tools "

Are you opposed to all political parties or just the Republican party?

[econ_grad]

I am opposed to all tools. Don't flame me, it won't work.

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

What does that mean?

BTW, a 95-0 vote is solid endorsement that these two guys are party tools and will never be damning against the government.

You don't like David McKeague and Richard Griffin? Document for this thread why you dislike the two.

[econ_grad]

Neither faced any opposition from the Democrats. Look at the politics of the sixth circuit and you will answer your own question. Why are they allowed to sit in the sixth but Saad isn't?

[econ_grad]

It means what I said.

[Once-Ler]

I can’t believe I am arguing with a Freeper that Pryor, McKeague and Griffin are conservative judges who have unfairly been denied a vote for far too long. You call Pryor a sell out with nothing to back it up, and speculate that the other 2 are liberal because the rats…after all this crap…have finally been force to confirm them. No one should take you seriously. Have a nice day.
