As Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) moves to ease a backlog of executive branch nominations, he suggested on Tuesday that he does not have the votes to bring up President Barack Obama’s pick to run the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel.
Every Bush appointee or nomination had to pass through the democrat inquisition. Reid isn’t willing to allow any scrutinization of Obama’s people. They are so dirty that even the crats won’t ok them.
Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) “is very concerned” about Johnsen’s nomination, press secretary Clay Westrope said, pointing to her tenure as the legal director of NARAL Pro-Choice America as a point of concern.
Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.), who recently joined the Democratic Conference after 29 years as a Republican Senator, has stated that he will vote against Johnsen’s nomination when it hits the floor.
Dawn Johnsen isn’t just a pro-abort liberal. She’s a pro-abortion radical zealout who says that any restrictions on abortion are slavery. It’s about time that the GOP make a stand.
Ya think? Republican leadership is still looking for their guts and spine. I would think the RNC has heard more than an earful from the base by now. I know I’ve put my opinions on their voice mail on more than one occasion lately.
They only have 40 out of 100, but they’ve so far succeeded in blocking a radical nominee who’s rumored to be a future judicial apppointee. Maybe it’s not enough, but it’s something.
They’re also giving Obama headaches over that moonbat he wants to put on the 7th. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Me too. Sure is going to be empty in RINO land come election time.
She must be bad if Reid doesn’t have the votes.
“Republican leadership is still looking for their guts and spine.”
Before they can find ANYTHING, they need to remove their collective heads from their respective rectal passage-ways where they have had them since they abandoned the Contract with America.
VOTE THEM ALL OUT! They’re corrupt, power-hungry, ego maniacs who care about nothing but themselves and to hell with the American people.
I agree
What you and I have stated here must be re-stated to these gutless, spineless jokes personally via telephone calls, faxes, and emails.
Does anyone have a direct contact telephone number for Steele and the eunuch leadership of the GOP? I tried calling the RNC in DC and the phones ring and ring and ring and then you get a generic voice mail to no where. Would lead one to believe they don’t really want to hear from the base.
“She must be bad if Reid doesn’t have the votes.”
Oh, she is. One of Obama’s worst. In a weird coincidence, she’s the sister-in-law of Judge David Hamilton, that moonbat ACLU member whom Obama has nominated for the 7th. Curciut Court of Appeals.
