Why, why, why? A simple up or down vote is all that is asked!! Someone ought to sue the obstructionists in Congress for wasting tax-payer money by not earning their pay.
Specter's actions are on display. He has been in the pockets of the demoncRATS too long.
Please go nuclear.
W shouldn't have trusted him. I don't.
It's funny, and scary, to think that Schumer used to be someone, before All About Eve Rodham Clinton stole his camera time.
There should be a new law that any orgnaization or company that takes in government money cannot lobby politicians. Talk about conflict of interest.
The only problem with your approach is that the ba$tards would get to use our tax dollars to defend themselves against us, and in the event of financial damages, would be able to use our tax dollars to pay us. We need a senate leader that does not have the spine of a chocolate eclair.
NUKE EM'!!!!!
BRING IT ON!!!!
The dems have nothing. It's absolutely nothing but a bluff. The louder they scream, the more obvious it is. If they had any real leverage, or if they thought the Pubs would hurt themselves by going nuclear, they wouldn't be screaming so loudly. Punch it through. Just do it. This is a paper tiger waiting to be slain. And when the dust settles, people will scratch their heads and wonder what everybody was so afraid of, and why it took so long. Just DO it!
I think the RICO statute should be applied here to the entire democratic party.
And about damn time too.
Indeed while they are all equally meritorious and should be approved immediately, I do hope they bring the black female nominee to the floor first and go nuclear on that one.
After the RATs treatment of Dr. Rice, they will be hard pressed to bet their futures on obstructing this nominee.
Introduce a bill to defund and disband committees. Same people talking about the same issues they are sworn to act on as the constitution calls for. Committee obstruction is just a vehicle for revenue enhancement for political warchests. Debate every bill in full session in the order they are introduced and as they are drafted.
I agree.
Right now, the Dems are daring Frist to go nuclear.
If Frist backs off, the Dems know they still hold the cards in the Senate.
It's Frist's move now...and I hope he goes nuclear.
Arlen Sphincter has no qualms about an aborted baby, but just let someone put panties on a terrorist's head....
Mr. SCHUMER.: I also plead with my colleagues to move judges with alacrity--vote them up or down. But this delay makes a mockery of the Constitution , makes a mockery of the fact that we are here working, and makes a mockery of the lives of very sincere people who have put themselves forward to be judges and then they hang out there in limbo.
Senate Democrats are preparing to once again filibuster President Bush's judicial nominees
I am shocked, just plain shocked! NOT!
