CAPITOL HILL The Senate Judiciary Committee has approved the last of four hotly disputed judicial nominees on a party line vote. The ten-to-eight vote sends acting appeals court Judge William Pryor's nomination to the Senate.
Democrats blocked his nomination in President Bush's last term. But Bush gave him a temporary seat on the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta with a recess appointment. They've vowed to filibuster Pryor and three other Bush nominees this time around, too.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has threatened to disallow future filibusters and force a vote on Pryor and the others.
Democrats say Pryor's views on abortion and gay rights would prevent him from being an impartial judge. Republicans say his personal views have nothing to do with his respect for the law.

Glaciers zip by the Senate as the Senators ask "what was that blur?"

The Democrats reiterate, " Practicing Catholics, Evangelical Christians and Orthodox Jews will not even be included in the pool of potential appellate judges".

Hi Penelopesire-
Misdemeanor? Please see
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1402398/posts. Young ladies attired thus, may well lead to more than a misdemeanor( e.g. assault, unwanted pregnancies, abortion) -
In this regard, my sole point was that men can not really speak to this issue. If they did, they would be dismissed as Puritanical, or by feminist standards, men would be accused of dis-empowering a woman from her sexuality. That's why I think females have more credibility in speaking to such issues, if of course, females believe that such attire is out of place.
As such, I don't see the issue as a "peghold". Anticommunist Nixon, was the individual who lead the way to opening relationships with communist China. In this vein, I think women, to the extent that they believe that women have overstepped a line, must police their gender. Men, no matter how well intended, simply can't do it.
As to the issue of the feminzation of men, men are simply reactive. This may be a geographic distinction. I live in a blue state. More often than not, if I hold a door open for a woman, I am usually greeted with an icy stare down, or worse, an an expletive. Of course, this may not happen in your part of the country.
Most importantly, however, I respect your point of view based on your beliefs and life experience. Unfortunately, in this regard, our experiences don't conjoin on this issue.
Oh, as to the Ms. Ingraham comment, I pray the "monkey" reference was not directed at me. I concede that I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but since I don't believe in evolution, I don't think my progenitors were monkeys. At least, I hope not.
Regards-

Sorry for the late response. I did not want to leave you with the wrong impression,so...in the interest of clearing a few things up in the off chance that it matters....

That is sad..we don't act that way in the south. We love our doors opened by a kindly gent. Perhaps you should move down south...LOL.

HEAVENS NO. On the Laura Ingraham show they have a little segment called: "But...monkey' Of The Day...which are sound clips of various politician's(mainly dems)saying such things as: "George W. Bush is our President..BUT he's a loser"..or: "Of course the terrorists are behaving badly....BUT it is all America's fault"...LOL. It had nothing to do with you, I was making fun of myself. Stay safe..stay conservative and think about moving to a red state down south if you have a strong urge to open doors and pay the tab...LOL. Take care.

Penelopesire,
No problem don't get a chance to watch Laura, but I'm obviously a big fan.
As for relocation, I am fully convinced that I'll always be where the Lord intends me to be. I guess, for now, He intends for me to upset Blue State females, by continuing to open doors. :)
