Can we invoke cloture if they decide to filibuster? I mean if they're filibustering judges, why not the cabinet?

[PilloryHillary]

OMG, That is a FUNNNNYYYYY PIC! Wish I knew what happened....

[johnb838]

yEAH THE ONE THING WE do not WANT TO DO IS TO GIVE THEM ANYTHING IN RETURN FOR THEY'RE NOT DELAYING. sorry for shouting

[ken5050]

One delay request granted is an almost automatic courtesy. If the Dems ask for another, a week later..by a different Senator..that's when the line has to be drawn..

When CNN reported this, they said it was Boxer and Byrd who wanted to hold this up.They said that they had people who wanted to speak and it could take hours.Also they said the Dems knew the Republicans had events to attend tomorrow evening, and wouldn't want to stay late.CNN reported that by holding this up, the Dems were sending a message to the Administration.What that message is I don't know.

This only shows why how pathetic they have become!

<< .... the former Army general .... [Said Miss] Rice .... would bring "gifted leadership" to the department. >>

And what a refreshing change THAT small mercy will bring to the Foggy Bottom's fetid Foreign-er Service-ing fever swamps.

Good riddance, Republican Party and Bush family collective blind-spot-occupying Peter Principled Powell.

Wow, did you guys see Senator Boxer from California? She sure has some big ones, heh?

Finally...some truth from the demonrats (remember Sean Young in Ace Venturea: Pet Detective?).

Desperate petty sour grapes.

Precisely. Desperate petty sour grapes wet blanket party-pooping rain on the parade kill joy loosers!

BTT!!!!!!!

She's been in a very public position for the last 4 years as a part of the Bush administration - how much "debate" is necessary? What new information could possibly come out?

Just more stunts by the Democrats. What's even more disgusting? That the Republicans will ALLOW this.

The bad taste in America's mouth hasn't gone away.

Note from admin moderator: kindly eschew Monica Lewinsky allusions ;-)

What's even more disgusting? That the Republicans will ALLOW this.

When one's opponent is commiting suicide, step aside....

[Smartass]

[The Wizard]

the democrats are over.......they are committing suicide.

[TheBattman]

I sure hope you are right.

[AZamericonnie]

Disgrace....that's better.
