GOP backbone = oxymoron

They will let you know when they have found it, after the demorats, tell them they can use it.

Congress critters are like water. They always take the path of least resistance.

It seems like the Republicans don't have the gonads for this. I am glad for groups like Judicial Watch that do have some cojones.

The Republicans have shown their true colors in not supporting Judicial Watch's court fight to have the filibusters ruled unconstitutional.

If the leftists use the courts to get their way why don't we do likewise? I think we should, especially since we are correct in this case.

You can read about it on Judicial Watch's website.

The story is titled:

JUDICIAL WATCH GOES TO COURT TO BREAK THE FILIBUSTERS OF JUDICIAL NOMINEES

Federal Court Judge Asked to Rule Judicial Filibusters Unconstitutional

Where’s the GOP Backbone in the Senate?

Probably buried with Hoffa's body.

FRIST: "WE WANT A VOTE!!!"

Kennedy: "No."

Frist: "Okay."

I believe someone named Waldo has hidden it? Just where is Waldo? I want to know.

The Dems have won this round and nothing will change until the Republicans win a few more seats.

1. It takes 50 Republicans seated and 1 Democrat speaking to hold a formal filibuster. This will never happen for more than a few days and it will accomplish nothing but getting a little (and I think very little) attention from the major media.

2. It takes 100% of the Republcans to vote to change the 60% rule for judicial approval back to 50%. I don't think Frist has the 50 Republican votes that he needs.

Unless they can have Cheney as the nominal head of the Senate declare a 50% rule then the situattion is hopeless. There is no viable nuclear option.

Given all of this I still think Lott and Lott Junior (Frist) are Wimps of the First Magnitude (WFMs).

Don't even get me started . . . .Ask Miguel Estrada.

It's not time yet. That time is next year before the election when it will help us kick out more Democratic senators by showcasing their obstructionism.

60 is always greater than 51. Most of you folks are living in fantasy land.

Where’s the GOP Backbone in the Senate?

Senator Jesse Helms retired.... That's where it went.

[Sabertooth]

We should revise our expectations of the GOP Senators.
Not all members of the phylum chordata possess backbones.

Sea squirts, or tunicates, are an example.

The GOP's backbone is in a jar of formaldehyde, in a cabinet next to the freezer where their testicular fortitude is stored for future use.
