"I was extremely disappointed to learn today that the president intends to begin the new Congress by resubmitting extremist judicial nominees," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said in a statement. That must be incomplete. If it were a statement by a Republican, and if it were reported by the MSM, it would have included the Kreskin-like observation --
...indicating that the prospect of further losses of [Democrat] seats on the Senate is acceptable to him.

"The Senate has a constitutional obligation to vote up or down on a president's judicial nominees," McClellan added, "and the president looks forward to working with the new Senate to ensure a well-functioning and independent judiciary."

The dem's are going to continue to make themselves even more irrelevant. It's going to be great to watch this all playout.

My, that minority guy, Reid, is a breath of fresh air.

Have those Democrats that vote for a filibuster stand up and be judged during the 2006 senatorial elections.
Tom Daschle was unable to navigate around this issue, those up for reelection will without doubt discover their ultimate voter judgment.

"I was extremely disappointed to learn today that the president intends to begin the new Congress by resubmitting extremist judicial nominees," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said in a statement. "The Bush administration is ending the year as they began it, choosing confrontation over compromise, ideology over moderation, and defiance over cooperation," said Sen. Pat Leahy (D-Vt.), ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee.
On the contrary, I thought that simply renominating the same candidates, rather than going with more conservative picks, was a pretty conciliatory move, given the outcome of the November election and the proven efficacy (NOT!) of compromising with the National Socialists (Democrats).

We need to be busy during the Christmas break and let our representatives know what we want them to do when they go back to D.C. They tend to forget they are OUR representatives and need to be reminded frequently. And forceably at the polls if they don't function to our approval. They serve at OUR pleasure....some of us forget that.

I can just see Chuckie Schmuckie, Biden, Fat Teddy and Leahy all skulking in some dark, wet sewer office, schemeing on how to block, obstruct and derail the President's reasonable selections for these federal vacancies.
The dems have to decide to hold their hissy fit now or when the first Supreme retires. What Rove needs to do right now is get some likely 2006 Senate candidates who might oppose a sitting crapweasel to begin to make a lot of noise about what he'd do right when he replaces the extremist scumbag dem.

"And even though the GOP gained four seats in the Nov. 2 election, Republicans are still five votes short of the 60 needed to overcome further filibusters."Be sure to encourage the Leftists to keep up their hate-filled, anti-American rhetoric and propaganda and--especially at this Christmas time--their anti-Christmas and anti-Christian activities.
In other words, encourage the Left to continue revealing itself.
If they just stay on course, 2006 promises to be a banner year for the Republicans!
