A Triple Black Dog Double Dare to Infinity

The interest of FReepers in this subject is high and self-evident. I think you'll like this take on it.

John / Billybob

[Petronski]

I love the take on it. Very well done. Wish I'd written it.

[ConservativeMind]

I think you underestimate the stupidity of the Republican leadership in the Senate.

[kingattax]

maybe a "swirly" is exactly what the US Senate needs.....all of em.

[spodefly]

The most important message to Mr. and Mrs. Squishy Middle is that the "tradition" of filibuster with regard to judicial nominees is not a tradition at all. It is an aberration that has existed for a relatively short period of time. The MSM and the Democrats are trying to paint this "nuclear" option as yet another example(?) of the evil Republicans stomping on the Constitution, when it is exactly the opposite. It is a return to the Constitution after a rules hijacking by the progressive types.

Great job, Billybob. Ya done gone and hit a 'nother outta tha park!

Apparently you didn't hear Reid on Face the Nation last Sunday.

"I'm not shutting down the government, it's the Republicans. They're making us walk out".......

(hoping that he hold his breath 'til he turns blue ;'}

[Congressman Billybob]

Thank you for your essential contribution to this column. Makes it just plain super.

Yea, just like the "dareors" MADE Mackie stick his hed in the urinal---

I don't trust the squishy Republicans in the Senate to help Frist---McCain (not too brainy, this guy) has already said he will side with the dems--we know about Chafee, Snowe, Collins,----

Also, whenever the dems brag about all of the judges they have alread confirmed, it is never pointed out that these are local judges, not circuit court judges ---the important judges---

Loved the article---CongressmanBillyBob

"oh pleeeze don't throw me in the briar patch brer bear" say brer rabbit.

[Triggerhippie]

Hang on... you mean to say they're going to shut down the government...

Aren't they the group of folks who have been taxing me, starving a helpless woman, deporting a child refugee, and allowing psychos like McKinney, Kerry, and Schumer to be on the public teat for years?

Hell yes! Shut it down. At least until they can balance a checkbook.

Making a threat like that on April 15 (tax day) is adding insult after the injury.

Mitch McConnell was on the floor of the Senate today putting that information into the record. He even gave the exact date WHEN THE DEMOCRATS CHANGED THE RULE .. so the dems have no excuse. They are lying and they know it .. but they are counting on the sheeple now knowing the truth. All the repubs have to do is replay the video of McConnell's statement - over and over and over.

"Will Senator Reid then “shut down the Senate”? Only if he is dumb as a bag of hammers"

AWESOME! EXCELLENT. But...

One minor correction: Bag of hammers and SICKLES....

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

maybe a "swirly" is exactly what the US Senate needs.....all of em.

I call your one "swirly" and raise you four "noogies" and a swift kick in the rear....

[kingattax]

LOL

[MACVSOG68]

The vote on the constitutional option cannot take place until an actual federal court nominee is on the floor.

Thanks for the ping upchuck. Didn't one just get approved this past week for the DC Circuit? Also, I think something over 30 CA nominations have been approved. Not sure why the Dems are so adamant about going to war over an obviously well qualified black woman. Doesn't seem to be the right place to draw your line in the sand.

This evening, my 8yo daughter will be getting a small lecture from her dad about the silliness of swallowing a "... dog ... dare ..."

I've been looking for such an opportunity - before she gets much closer to being a super-intelligent teenager.

[Txsleuth]

Of course taking on Janice Rogers Brown is stoopid, but these guys aren't too smart---they still insist that the reason they have lost the last bunch of elections is because the didn't get their message out---they won't admit that their message, SUCKS!!!

BTW, I don't think Reid is smart enough to be coordinating all of this, I think that Soros is behind this as well as the war on the confirmation of John Bolton---I think it is all tied together--obstructionism deluxe---

There are at least 3 Secretary positions on hold because senators have put a hold on them---just because they can.

I just posted on a Bolton thread, that I wouldn't put it past Soros to be in cahoots with the Islamofascists like Bin Ladin(if he is still alive), to try to take down America from within, using our laws, freedoms, and political system to do it---

Soros has no allegiance to any country, and that counts America!!!

[Txsleuth]

Just a note---Fox News is going to show Tom Delay's speech at the NRA Convention, LIVE tonight at 8:00 central time.

Pass it on---

Delay even has Tom Tancredo asking him to step down, now!!!
