I doubt Spectre being on board.
As far as replacing one conservative Judge with another conservative judge neither Spectre nor the Democrats will object to that.
When and if the time presents itself t replace a liberal judge with a conservative judge, watch Spectre obstruct that.
Secondly, the GOP never filibustered judicial nominations,....
I agree, I am against making threats or issuing warnings in any situation under any circumsatances. The action should come with no warning, no mercy, and no quarter.
They may actually come out of the trenches this time.
The Republicans know that if they waffle and compromise and let the Demonrats intimidate them, they may very well get thrown out of power for it.
If on the other hand they start a really vicious battle and win it, the American public will get behind them *no matter what the issue*, just because they showed some leadership.
And... they know this is probably their last chance in the current cycle of things...
Mornin'! :^Dbump! bump! bump!
"Is it the sense of the Senate that the debate shall be brought to a close?" And if that question shall be decided in the affirmative by three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn -- except on a measure or motion to amend the Senate rules, in which case the necessary affirmative vote shall be two-thirds of the Senators present and voting -- then said measure, motion, or other matter pending before the Senate, or the unfinished business, shall be the unfinished business to the exclusion of all other business until disposed of.
ping for later
LOL, methinks they are confused!!
