Edith Jones was reported to be the nominee in 1991 if the Clarence Thomas nomination failed in the Senate. From what I remember she is a strong conservative.

Edith would be fillabustered by pos harry reid.

We would get 55 votes plus ben nelson for cloture leaving us at 56 and 4 votes short.

Harry Reid said Bush should nominate supreme court justices in the mold of david souter and sandra day o'conner not in the mold of clarence thomas or scalia.

John Mccain has the nerve to say that the nuclear option could be used against us.up a

Earth to John Mccain republicans confirmed ruth ginsberg 96-3 if you weren't going to use a fillabuster then the republicans will never use it.

Miguel Estrada a great judicial nominee can't get 60 votes but Ginsberg gets 96 votes.

These rino's are undercutting frist and bush, after the nuclear option vote harry reid and ted kennedy will call all the shots on judges. Bush will have to get their approval. The only reliable dem left to defy harry reid on cloture is ben nelson leaving us 4 votes short of breaking up a fillabuster. Harry Reid will be like the de=facto president when it comes to judicial nominees.

Time to throw snowe, collins, mccain, hagel, spector, chafee out of the party. They like voting with democrats so much take a hike and don't let the door hit you on the way out.
