Heading to work - have a good one.
Or a couple of Dems who live in the Red states and are soon up for re-election.
LIEBERMAN PRESS CONFERENCE NOW on the fact that Frist/Reid talks have failed. Showdown is on according to Lieberman.
Good. I was wonderinh about you for a momint...
Come on, now. I was hoping that we could stay unified at least for this week. But, inevitably, we are going to hear some FReepers bash every Republican while giving the Democrats a pass.
Bayh?
I merely obsoive McCain and Matthews' body language and mutual goo-goo eyes as they hold hands during their so-called CNN "interviews" (that was the question, right? :-D).
Well, that's encouraginh!!

The Senate website has a copy of the origial Senate Rules, in place from 1789 to 1806. Hmmm. Rules VIII & IX add up to "no possibility of delay by a minority."
"Obsoive" -- OMG, tell me you don't really talk like that! :)
Does this mean Lieberman will tow the party line on the filibuster? Very disappointing if true.....
It's always about McQueeg, isn't it.
:^)
Yep, Rootin' Tootin' Raspberry, as a matter o' fact!
Encouraging, but I'll believe the "noo-you-ler option" when I see it with me own two eyes, and the GOP actually executes "Plan "A" of their judicial plan TO-A-TEE.
This Party has broken my heart too many times.
This guy is either a total moron or a complete self-serving panderer.
The issue here is whether or not the Constitution calls for a clear up or down vote on Presidential juridical appointees. Clearly it does as it states that a simple majority of Sentors will be necessary to confirm.
What is so difficult about that to understand?
Either the Constitution means what it says or it doesn't. There is no issue here upon which to compromise unless McCain thinks the minority party should get equla rights to select judicial appointees along with the majority party, which would truely be a novel idea.
How on earth can ANYONE take this guy seriously anymore? How on earth can he continue to get re-elected? Are they all brain dead in Arizona??
