"I was also told that we will see some surprising defections when it comes to the Nuclear option. If this person is correct, then we can give up right now."

No source mentioned. Therefore this 'claim' goes into the round file along with all the 'sources' who get the credit for all manor of crap spread around as fact. Besides, there could as well be an alternate take on this lame statement. Who is to say the surprising defections will be on the Republican side? You can bet that lib Senators from red States are getting bombarded by emails, phone calls and faxes from Republicans warning them of the consequences of not siding with the party. That said any info whose source is unidentified is useless.

Was Kerry just giving Allen a lecture?

[Dad yer funny]

[ken5050]

He offers a UC..any GOP senator can object..Frist is now telling Reid where to go...hehehehehe Frist is pissed..LOL

[Coop]

Harry Reid is offering to bring 3 judges to floor for 6 hours of debate---I haven't heard of any of them. He said that NOW we will see if the Republicans want to confirm judges or just fight and change senate history....

Dingy Harry needs to learn the adage about "Never let 'em see you sweat." Ol' Harry's quaking in his boots over this nuke option! :-D

[Howlin]

Kerry: "There will be a debate on the floor of the Senate and that debate will not do anything to improve Bolton's image at the United Nations."

Now isn't that what this is all about???????? They want to destroy him.

[West Coast Conservative]

Coleman up!

[Cyber Liberty]

Your point is clear as a bell to me. However, talking about an empty seat at the UN does hit the 'Craps right in one of their talking points.

[Truth Table]

Finally Coleman...

[snugs]

Strikes me they are the ones who are corrupting power not the Republicans RAT is an insult to that particular animal.

[EQAndyBuzz]

"Reid on the Senate floor..offering a "compromise""

Here is the compromise. Give every one of Bush's nominees an up or down vote and when the Democrats become the majority party, the Republicans will do the same.

[Howlin]

Yes, he was.

Here comes Coleman to clean house!

[tiredoflaundry]

I was out food shopping!, I will on high temp!

[Howlin]

It's as easy as that, isn't it?

[Coop]

I like it!

[TFine80]

Cool! Coleman basically shot down Kerry, saying we HAD an election and you lost!

[Soul Seeker]

I thank anyone listening to kerry, reciting what he is stating. A year of listening to him was more than enough. He's on mute right now.

Frist--angered that a real injustice is being done to our system of justice....outstanding jurists..their reputations being smeared...it has an impact on their acreers and personal lives. It is Inexcusable.

It's time...long past time..for the Majority of this senate to come to their defense...dragging a good person'a name through the mud using the MSM in defense of that...then deny right to a vote...

Frist is doing great now!
