FOX News just said something about Lindsey Graham stating that he is going to take this to court. He said the filibustering of judicial nominations is unconstitutional and he wants to take it up !

Did anybody else see that ?? GO LINDSEY ! GO GOP !!!! ...

C-Span has all of these press conferences on Real Video, so yes, I saw it. He said that his constitutional obligation to vote is being denied to him, that he has "standing" as a Senator, and he's going to look for a lawyer to take this to the Supreme Court.

yeah -- he said that early this morning. whether scotus will touch it is problematic, though. a far more effective approach would be for the senate republicans to stop being such candyasses. ted kennedy, looking and sounding more and more like larry flynt, makes his insane statement and orrin hatch begins his response by saying what a good friend of his the senior lardtrust from massachusetts is. well, dammit, orrin -- having ted kennedy as a friend is scarcely something to be proud of. he oughtn't be your friend. and we oughtn't keep doing this "thank you, sir, may i have another" routine with the democrats. if we've learned nothing else in the last two days, we've learned that these people cannot be worked with. what we *can* do is choke 'em off -- keep the pork out of their states. that's how the democrats achieved power to begin with, during the roosevelt administration. we can suck all the oxygen out of their political careers. we can ruin them. and when we have 100 republican senators, we can start choking the money off from states who have democrat governors. and we can do it with a smile on our face and love in our hearts because we happen to be right. what we need to be doing is not saying that corpulent, cirrhotic pusbags are our good friends but instead driving them to metaphorical if not actual suicide.
