Apparently Sheets had a whole lot wrong in his speecifying.
Durbin is up again and I, too, am agreeing with him. This is an out-of-body experience. I agree that those forced into bankruptcy due to military service should not be subject to the presumption of abuse. If this Durbin amendment derails this whole bill, I will be delighted.
Uh oh, somebody up in the Gallery is causing a ruckus.
This gets worse and worse. Durbin just said that what is going on sounds remarkably like debate. I agree with that as well.
I just turned on Fox News with Brit Hume and he showed part of Byrd's speech that I missed---
Byrd compared the MAJORITY Republicans, wanting a simple majority for judges like using Hitler like tactics to justify their actions--
Then, Major Garrett comes on and says that the Reps that he talked to CONCEDED THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE THE UPPER HAND IN THE JUDICIAL NOMINEE DEBATE!!!!
Then they showed Kennedy threatening to stop ALL of Bushs agenda if the Reps try to push Bushs nominees--um, Blackmail!!!
I saw that too WTF is Byrd thinking!!!!!
Flip on the Senate....I was just watching Hillary talk w/ Obama & McCain. Boy I'd like to be a fly close to that conversation.
She's yapping w/ Kerry right now...
Frist is going to have to go Nuclear now.
If he doesn't the dems will walk all over us for the next 4 yrs., or longer.
Well, they are off to a good start: Robert Byrd called the GOP Nazis today from the floor of the Senate.
Did Major Garrett say which repubs. he talked to?
"Somebody" on the committee.
Brit's pannel is talking about the Byrd rantings.
I'm listening to Bryd's comments now
OUTRAGOUS!
Krauthammer saying that Byrd, in his younger days, fillibustered the Civil Rights Act.
Funny Byrd left that out....
First Kennedy called Bush's nominees "neandrethals" (last year)
Now Byrd is saying that having an up or down 51 vote majority is setting the country on the course of the Third Reich!!!
Then, Kennedy says that they won't do anymore work this year if they use the "nuclear option", which from what I have heard is the REAL way that the nominations are supposed to be handled!!!
Hugh Hewitt is talking about Byrd now.

Oh boy, and it sounds like Hugh hasn't heard this yet. This should be good....
Thanks
