McCain can't get 5 other RINOs to walk the plank with him!

[AD from SpringBay]

Maybe we could set up some television cameras and microphones somewhere on the Washington plaza to distract McCain away from this issue. That would be good to shut him up for at least 24 hours, sort of like a salt lick for cattle and deer.

Spellinh rules on FR have been changed forever. LOL

[F16Fighter]

McCain's boy-toy -- Chrissy Matthews -- must be deeply saddened at this turn of events.

[KC_Conspirator]

McCain is going to have a hard time winning the primary in 2008 when he acts like this.

[ElkGroveDan]

What is this Breakinh?

Is this some part of popular culture? I don't mind being hip and whatnot, but can we draw the line at proper spelling and grammar?

For the rest of the Republican Senators:

[Yossarian]

McCain and Sen. Ben Nelson, a Nebraska Democrat, are leading an effort to attract a half dozen largely moderate senators from each party to a last ditch-compromise.

Their proposal would clear the way for votes on some of Bush's stalled judicial nominees while blocking others.

So, you're working on a plan that would keep many of the President's nominees from being voted on? F*** Off, McCain!

[righttackle44]

Breakinh?

Smokinh.

[Raycpa]

I love it when McCain fails.

[TAdams8591]

GOOD!!!!!!

The good news is that InSane won't have to waste his time in Iowa or NH.

[pabianice]

and Democrats would vow not to use such tactics against any circuit court or Supreme Court nominee except in "extreme circumstances."

Not even the Republicans are that stupid, are they?

[Lancey Howard]

"It's hard to say. There's a lot of cross-pressures. There's a lot of activity on both extremes of the political spectrum,"

LMAO! There's ol' John McCain, the good guy in the "mainstream" middle (ie., NOT an "extremist"), who America needs as its President. Yessirree, here comes the Straight Talk Express, the little engine that could.

[BibChr]

What I want to hear is that McMeMeMe admits he doesn't have the votes to win re-election.

I scanned the net and found this article one of the most detailed about the history and constitutional angles:

Heading to work - have a good one.

[laishly]

Well, that's encouraginh!!

[ZULU]

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??

[johnb838]

I want to b-slap that Harry Reid. He's got that big mouth punk look that just makes me want to go upside his head. He doesn't have black helicopters, does he?

[DrewsDad]

Under the proposal, Republicans would promise not to eliminate judicial filibusters through the end of next year, and Democrats would vow not to use such tactics against any circuit court or Supreme Court nominee except in "extreme circumstances."

Aye, there's the rub. Republicans can NOT promise to allow filibusters(especially for SC Nominees) for whoever the Rats declare as "extreme".
