Does this put her nomination in doubt?

Betcha Lil’ Lindsey votes to confirm.

As will McCain.

Hatch is thinking of Robert Bennett - the other RINO in Utah. Hatch knows he is next.

I wish the people of SC and FL were as good as the fine folks of UT in dumping stinking RINOs. Ditto with wonderful AZ (Brewer - woo hoo!) which I hope dumps horrible McCain.

[ldish]

good...but it won’t do any good...he should be standing tall and saying he is voting “no” for his children and grandchildren...because way after he is good she will be destroying our families, country, principals, honor and way of life!

[Sudetenland]

I fail to see how anyone who professes to believe in the law and/or the Constitution could possibly vote to confirm her.

She broke the law while she was the Dean of Harvard School of Law. Not only was she in violation of the Solomon Act, but her "excuse" for doing so, "I hoped that the military would not enforce the policy," is an attempt to encourage the military to violate the law. Isn't that suborning criminal behavior?

If Grahamnesty votes to confirm, he should be removed from office by the voters in a recall, as should any Republican who does so.

[Williams]

I don’t view Hatch as a RINO at all. Have you ever watched him during the Clarence Thomas hearings? In any event, bravo for him on this one.

[longtermmemmory]

he is being allowed to vote no because one vote does not matter.

It will be like sotomayor, one scraficial RINO will vote yes.

[RightOnTheBorder]

Voting up or down means nothing. The question is if he is willing to filibuster.

[skyman]

One word for his sudden change of heart: re-election

Hatch calls Kagan filibuster 'dirty thing to do'

A Republican filibuster of Elena Kagan would be "an unheard of, dirty thing to do," Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said Thursday.

Hatch, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told ABC News's "Topline" today that his party won't prevent an up-or-down vote on Obama's SCOTUS nominee.

"Republicans aren't going to filibuster her," he said.

A filibuster is the only way to stop her. Hatch is full of it.

[wagglebee]

You’ve almost got to wonder how much dirt Byrd had on some of these people.

[Maceman]

Don’t count your Hatch until he chickens.

[Lazamataz]

Never count your Hatches before they chicken.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Elections have consequences. McCain would have been better on picking a SC Justice, but too many people felt there was no difference between McCain and Obama.

I thought of McCain as a .22 to the leg and Obama as a .45 to the chest. I didn’t want either, but between the two I knew which I would prefer.

Those who said they would rather have Obama are now reaping what they have sown.

Obama is President, the Senate supports him, a liberal will be confirmed to the Supreme Court.

Don’t like it? Then settle for a third of a loaf next time.
