Excellent. They'll probably let half through so they can say they are still holding the line.

Thank you for the Info.

The only question is whether the Republicans have the courage to get her the vote she and the President deserve. Right now I'm not hopeful on that prospect.

Blink? I'll say blink when we get an up or down vote.

There's no blinking going on... the Dems will still prevent cloture on the floor of the Senate... and the GOP is still unsure if they have 50 votes for a rules change.

The amazing thing is that the GOP didn't blink. Of course the nomination left committee, we are still the majority. At least numerically.

I guess Voinovich, Chaffee and some others have told the Dems of their true alliegence. "Just count on us, guys, to screw it up in the end."

Fat Ted must have had a hang over and could not muster his fat ass up out of the chair to argue about it. Probably busy puking in his hat.

No surprise.

I think she has gotten through committee before.

It's the floor vote we need.

Wasn't there others scheduled for a vote in Committee today?.... Janice Brown and maybe one other..... I think they are holding Pryor till next week.

The vote was 10-8 last Congress for her to get out of Committee... Don't see any blinks in this vote. If so it would have been 11-7 or something like that, imo.

Getting out of committee isn't the problem. Its getting cloture on the floor that's been holding up everything. If the Republicans can't get 60 votes for cloture, the nomination is effectively fillibustered. Nothing new here at all, except the showdown in the Senate is that much closer.

According to Sen. Kyl, they had to get a judge voted out to the senate floor before they would envoke the Constitutional Option. Since she has now made it to the floor, the Constitutional Option is now a "go" if they choose to do it. Kyl said they have the votes.

I wonder if the dems let her through now because the MI affirmative action case is now settled?
