LIVE THREAD: Reid presser. C-span2, 1PM.. followed by Senate session....Frist's comments..
C-span

Posted on 05/16/2005 9:54:06 AM PDT by ken5050

OK, folks..let's se what going to happen today as we move closer to the showdown in the Senate. Live, at 1 PM EST on C-span 2, "Searchlight" Reid is holding a presser to discuss judicial nomination. The Senate then convenes at 2PM, and as Majority Leader, Frist will make the opening statement. Then Reid will speak. Frist as pissed at Reid last week..for announcing a possible compromise on the Senate floor without FIRST telling him of it..and Frist has yet to speak about Reid's comments about FBI files. Should be fireworks..

If I remember correctly, Tennessee had two in 1994. One at its regular time, and the other to replace Gore's last two (I think) years. It's when we elected Frist and Fred Thompson.

He's asking for six "Profiles in Courage" from the GOP to vote with them.

Says he has had senators come up here today saying "I know you're right, but I can't vote with you," implying that WE are doing dirty work, forgetting that HE is keeping all the Democrats in lockstep!

Wasn't this supposed to be about the judges? SS, energy, education? I'm confused.

Oh-OH --- Bush unwilling to take baby steps. All or nothing.

The problem here is that there is the intersection of the set of possible judges that we find acceptable and those that the Lunatic Left find acceptable is the null or empty set. There is no chance of compromise when there is no one that fits the definition of acceptable for both sides.

So, we either get no judges, or we eliminate the filibuster.
