But does Frist blow through the "Anonymous Hold" or even just a regular "Hold" that some Senator (obviously a Dim) would use?
I read they are delaying the AG vote too....God forgive me, I hate these people.
"We haven't finished making ourselves looking like f---ing idiots."
xactly.
What mean and petty little brats.
Put me in the "not surprised" column, too.
I kept saying what a blessing it would be when the vote was taken, keeping in mind they might do this.
I'm not surprised by that news either
Remember 4 years ago .. they did the same delay tactics
The prez is a patient man. I have to say, were I him, this would send me over the edge.
The snobs who don't will live to want that their Party does never do that again!
Trifling!
What work was going to get done in the Senate tomorrow anyway? Most of the day is going to be taken up with Inaurgural stuff.
Let the Dems crow about their 'power', they'll find they've won a phyrric victory because Dr. Rice and Mr. Gonzales will be confirmed, anyway. Then, in 2006, the American people will go to the polls and slap the Dems down for their juvenile behavior.
To tribal Dems she's just another Republican to be slimed at every opportunity. To the vast middle, she's the first black woman in the job and they're pretty proud of her (as they ought to be). This isn't going to play well and all the MSM aren't going to be able to spin it any other way. Clinton may have been a ruthless, immoral SOB but at least he didn't have a political tin ear.

Let the Demos show out over this. It will only mean more States in the Red column for the next election.
It is obvious that you don't have much of a clue as to the makeup of the Dems in the Senate today. You cannot compare those years of Dole to today. When Mitchell was in charge of the Dems in the Senate there were problems but nothing like has hit the Senate since HILLARY was elected in 2000 and took over. As for Lott, he was spineless and didn't have a clue after Hillary hit the Senate. Not to mention he gave into Clinton on the budget and took NO other Republicans with him when he made the deal.
I don't care who the Dems put out front -- Hillary is behind the scenes pulling the strings. Been that way since the first vote after she was sworn in and the Dems stopped by her for a nod yes or no on votes -- right down on the Senate floor in front with the leadership. Those not wanting her advise walked down the Republican side. I watched her tell them how to vote day after day in her first month and thereafter on C-SPAN.
"I thought Republicans controlled Senate".....
I have a feeling the Dems are going to do this over and over with every appointment, every bill, and make life for GOP's hell. I hope they cut them at the knees early and show them who is in control. What a waste of tax payers money for them to vent their vile.
politics as ususal.....faux hate until happy hour or shared TV time when it is faux love.
faux folks
Oh Tonk....the traitors refection on the wall makes me ill.
Senate Rules don't allow ANYONE to "Control" the Senate. It doesn't work that way. Senators are given much more power than House members. Even cloture doesn't end debate -- it just limits debate. If Senators want to bloviate about the nomination beyond tomorrow, there is nothing that can be done. Not that FACTS would stop some people from blasting Frist, of course.
