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..
No no, not today... you'll have to settle for Dingy being a lyin' whinin' effen idiot! lol
Better an Arnold than a Davis.
Been to both of them.....very true.
Six is the minimum number of GOP senators Reid needs. IT is also the number of times Giambi struck out this weekend..
McCain dances a jig around his office every time he gets a bunch of angry calls from the AZ GOPers.
Are they going to have the damn vote today?
I'm sure he IS lying. If he doesn't have the votes, he's dam sure going to ruin some RINOs by McCarthy-type inference. Bet on it.
yes indeedy. Six senators is just exactly what Reid needs, what a coincidence that there just happen to be six of them that spoke with Reid and support his stance, yessirree...
A dem that is pro life is meaningless. Harry Reid is pro life but you'd never know it when he blocks good conservative judges like Bill Pryor.
What good will Casey be if he votes to block cloture with harry reid on pro life judges like Bill Pryor.
or
As bad as spector is at least he will vote for cloture for an up or down vote on the likes of Bill Pryuor. I want the likes of Spector out because they undercut what we worked so hard for in the election. But don't thnk you will get anything good by voting for Casey.
Casey will be just as bad as Salazar who pretended he is conservative and wanted an up or down vote but is now going to fillabuster good conservative judges.
A good question to ask Casey would be will he vote for cloture on judges like estrada, pryor, janice rodgers brown, owens. If he says no he is useless and if he says yes I wouldn't trust him.
He didn't in '00--got Dems and Inds though.
Florida, MN...then Wash, Mich, NJ..and WV..there are a LOT the Dems have to defend..
RIGHT! The SHEETS option.
Been through Parumph when I worked at the NTS.
Oh, well, shoot. I'm fine now. That was my first Presidential vote and I voted right on that one.
Better not tell your husband you're saying this out loud. He may divorce you.
I do not know if he has done so or not. Repeated reports on FR have never had any proof (and we all know how well they do with checking sources...a la Newsweek).
No point in getting mad yet. We will find out facts eventually, and then we can get mad at whoever deserves it.
Did Sen. First indicate when he thought the Senate would go into Executive Session and take up the nominees?.. I think the belief was that by mid week they'd be finished with the Highway bill.
Did anyone hear how the Sunday night dinner that Frist and Reid attended went?
Coincidence? I think NOT! I smell conspiracy here!
Wow. Never even thought about that. Do you really think he'd go that far? These guys are a pretty clubby group.
Salazar will be a one-term wonder..
Searchlight is just an "Onyx, CA" with a casino.
Parumph is just a Searchlight with legal prostitution.
LOL!
