Welcome, all you Freepers, to the continuing C-span soap operas about judicial nominations. "The Guiding SEARCHLIGHT, " "As the SENATE Turns, "One NOMINATION to Live" "GERIATRIC Hospital" (for all you Byrd and Lautenberg fans out there). Follow along with us, as the Dems raise the level of histrionics, bloviation, pontification, and all around bad acting to new highs, er, lows...
We all know the other ones.......LOL.
Rush called the demonRATs "a bunch of party hacks, overblown with a sense of their own importance"
LOL!
Corin, that's the one I was looking for; why doesn't it show up on the full page I posted?
Awesome! Thank You! I am getting a gross and passing them out here in Indiana!
FREEPmail me the links!
Thanks!
It's a given that good men are going to be knocked once the primary battle begins as supporters line up on either side.
In the case of McCain he deserves everything leveled at him.
I have no ill toward either Frist or Allen, nor have I a front runner. I want to see them through the process of a primary. Only THEN will I make a judgemnt, but both are loyal conservatives and that shouldn't be forgotton in the midst of jockeying for a candidate for '08.
Oh man.....some of my "kids" are Va Tech fans!
Can you explain why she wants out of the senate, to challenge Perry for governor..as is reported?
The dissenting opinions suggest that the exceptions to the general rule of notification should be very rare and require a high standard of proof. I respectfully submit that these are policy decisions for the Legislature. And I find nothing in this statute to directly show that the Legislature intended such a narrow construction. As the Court demonstrates, the Legislature certainly could have written section 33.033(i) to make it harder to bypass a parent's right to be involved in decisions affecting their daughters. See ___ S.W.3d at ___. But it did not. Likewise, parts of the statute's legislative history directly contradict the suggestion that the Legislature intended bypasses to be very rare. See id. at ___ (detailing legislative history). Thus, to construe the Parental Notification Act so narrowly as to eliminate bypasses, or to create hurdles that simply are not to be found in the words of the statute, would be an unconscionable act of judicial activism.

What is the current status of the nuclear option. Is it done yet? Prospects... ?? I want to be ready to report "YES!!" to my liberal colleagues....
Thanks in advance.
go to www.cspan.org and watch on c-span2
Just the thought of that sends shivers down my spine, BUT
Guess what, Laura is going on a Middle East trip on her own, w/o Bush---I was concerned before, but now that we know the grenade came THAT close to possibly killing President Bush, it scares me to death for her to go over there--
Especially announcing it beforehand!!!
could have phrased that better, but hey...
"I am making no judgement in your case, but I consider that fact about Byrd as more for show than for reference. The Constitution is not that large a document and it is his employee manual(or should be)."
I take your point and more or less agree. But imagine we lined up everyone in Congress and said "This is a race. Ready, set, go find your Constitution." How many would even be back the same day?
Allen brings up Justice Rogers Brown. Says her qualifications are immpeccable.
It's not going to be done today or tomorrow, maybe late Friday or early Monday.
They're just "talking" now. The only people talking about the nominees (which is what this is about) are the GOPers; the Dems are ranting about the nuclear option and how nasty we all are.
POIFECT!!!!
Judges disagree all the time. That's why we have more than one on the Supreme Court.
I will! If I can figure it out! Otherwise e-mail me at defconw004@yahoo.com! I have am on 4 Allen groups, and we are just getting started!
