Yep. Nuke 'em now.
I suspect it will not be Frist who makes the motion to go nuclear. Frist is seen as the President's man in the Senate. It will be too easy for the Rats to paint this as Dubya's bidding.
But if Arlen Specter is the one who raises the "point of order" on the judicial nominations, that changes the whole ball game. Specter is seen as the maverick, the moderate, the person who tries to build the bridges. It is harder to attack him as the Nazi than it would be to attack Frist as the Nazi.
Once again. This nonsense could be ended if even one senator denied unanimous consent. Cut with the civility and get things done. It was always ok for LBJ to strongarm things through the senate but the illustrious senator from Pennsylvania must be duly conciliatory.
When are rinos going to learn..you cannot deal or rationalize with these people..you have to be tough or they will walk all over you with their lies and arrogance..sigh..I am glad Scottish Law spector had to sit and be ignored and impugned..he likes to take it from the demos..
At least the Democrats are willing to fight to the bitter end for something, even if it is dead wrong. The Republicans, on the other hand, are so afraid of offending anyone that they are rendered impotent, making for the tall grass at the mere thought of confrontation. They sicken me...
Once again the Democrats prove that they are just a waste of space, time and money. If anyone wonders why nothing ever seems to get done, and why government moves along at sub-snail pace, here is your answer.
Clinton had 8 years in office, now you know why nothing, except blunders got done.

Well that's just too bad. I ain't goin' nowhere...
No, as usual, they are trying to be above the fray and do things the honorable way. How many times have we seen FReepers say, "We don't want to become like the." They are trying to conduct business as it should be done, as they have always done it. Unfortunately, the Dems are just like terrorists. You can't fight by the Geneva Convention rules when the enemy not only doesn't follow them but uses them against you. The Republicans should rub their faces it it and say, "We will face the consequences when they come." rather than anticipate them. You can bet your boots that the Dems will show no mercy now nor in the future.
That's a great way to descibe the Democrats in the House and Senate. Legislative Terrorists!!
Earlier this month Harry Reid viciously attacked Alan Greenspan, a man whom I never thought would be treated this way by the Senate minority leader.
These democrats are fighting for their very existence (like a wounded animal) and will attack anyone who they see fit.
The Dems will attack Spectre and rip him apart without batting an eye. I would be surprised if they didn't rip Spectre.
Dems are soooooo creepy.
They will attack Specter, but he has more time to recover. He's also more sympathetic (see his cancer).
If Specter does it, I think we could hold the Senators from Maine. That could be the difference in upholding Cheney's ruling and having it overturned.
Here we are, getting our noses rubbed in the dirt. When will the Republicans learn that the CRATS are ignorant and need to be quashed.
your point is well taken
