Don't know if this has been posted yet, but I recently read that, since so many things in the Senate require unanimous consent, the Democrats have many tactics to delay things.
Dems fight like sissies.... they appoint judges to legislate from the bench because they know their causes have no chance in the american mainstream. That is why they fight tooth and nail over judge appointees. They see Bush's appointments as too conservative to warrant lifetime appointments.... si it's ok to have lifetime IF you're lib, but conservative oh no! lmao
