WASHINGTON (AP) Senate Republicans blocked another of President Barack Obama's picks for one of the nation's top courts on Tuesday, the latest skirmish in a nominations battle that has intensified partisan tensions in the chamber.
The vote derailed Obama's selection of Georgetown University law professor Cornelia Pillard to fill one of three vacancies on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The roll call was 56-41 in favor of ending GOP procedural delays that have blocked Pillard from winning confirmation four short of the 60 votes Democrats needed.

Hold the line. These appointments are radical. Obama’s last grasp at victory.

Yep, 0bummer is doing his best to get a lib majority in the DC Appeals Court, it’s personal with him because of his illegal recess appointments decision of the NLRB being overturned. Boy president doesn’t like to take no for an answer.

We’ve got him by the balls on this. Reid wouldn’t dare change the filibuster rule, with senate Dems sinking almost as fast as Obama’s approval ratings. Too risky.

Where did the GOP find the balls?

So many of the these liberal women have that very same hair cut, pinched face, granny glasses, etc. You are correct. I used to date a liberal woman who was much prettier than this one, but she still had that same look. After a few years the crap they feel inside has to come perking to the top and it show in their faces.

“Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska were the only two Republicans to vote “yes” on Pillard. “
I’m disgusted with those two, as usual.
