Senator Kyl was terrific---I am so glad he spoke after Nelson--
I have a question--the judiciary committee only has what, 22 members or so? With only that few members, there is NO WAY that all 50 states would be represented, right?
So, if these nominees do not get out of committee to an up-or-down vote in the Senate, then a hugh porportion of Americans WILL NOT have the chance, through representation, to have their votes re: judicial appointments counted. If John Cornyn was not on that committee, my vote for Senator AND President would give me NO say in the judiciary in my district or my Supreme Court--
Why doesn't some of the senators that are NOT on the judiciary committee and perhaps have no Senate representation on that committee, get up and say something about that---that their constituents are not being well served in one of the most important functions the the Senate and the Senate ONLY have responsiblity for?
BTW, no wonder Dick Cheney used the "F" word at Patrick Leahy, he is a total a$$hole!!!
Jeff Sessions in my hero---everytime I hear him speak, I like him more and more---
He speaks so clearly and in "plain speak", instead of legalese---he is also against the LOST treaty bill--as am I.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have a big enough TV presence, so no one prolly knows of him unless they live in Alabama or watch c-span 2!
